Preparing the subfloor

Preparing the subfloor is a crucial step often underestimated. The existing base, whether it is a screed or old tiles, often drives the cost more than the covering itself.

If the surface is not perfectly level, levelling work may be required to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing installation. We recommend having the surface inspected by a professional to avoid unexpected issues.

A sound, stable subfloor ensures the longevity of your new covering, whether using flexible or rigid materials. Always check the condition of the subfloor before purchasing materials to avoid unforeseen expenses during the construction process.

Acoustic insulation and comfort

In apartment buildings, maintaining quiet is essential. Condominium regulations often require impact-sound insulation under the flooring to limit noise pollution.

When choosing your floor, ensure you select high-performance underlays that meet these specific standards. Good insulation not only protects your neighbors but also significantly improves your own acoustic comfort at home.

Discussing with your property management often helps to clarify the rules that apply to your unit. Investing in quality materials for sound insulation is a guarantee of tranquility and helps preserve the value of your property in Kirchberg.

Flooring and underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is common in modern buildings in Kirchberg. If your home has it, selecting the right flooring becomes a technical task. It is essential to choose a compatible material that promotes thermal conductivity.

Low-insulation coverings are recommended to allow heat to pass through efficiently, maintaining a comfortable room temperature. Tiles, for example, are excellent conductors. If you prefer wood, ensure the species is adapted to temperature fluctuations.

Always check the manufacturer's technical specifications for compatibility before purchasing to ensure an efficient heating system and controlled energy consumption.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to redo your floors?

It is best to carry out this work during drier periods. Ambient humidity affects the drying time of adhesives and levelling compounds. Planning your project in Kirchberg outside of the most humid months facilitates installation and guarantees a durable result.

Can I lay a new floor over the old one?

This is possible in some cases, such as with stable parquet or perfectly level tiles. However, always check door heights and insulation. A prior inspection helps determine if removal is necessary to avoid leveling issues.

Which materials are suitable for a family with children?

Vinyl and tiles are very popular for their robustness and ease of maintenance. They resist shocks and stains well. Hardwood flooring is also an option, provided you accept a light natural patina over time.

How long does the work take?

The duration depends on the surface area and the need for subfloor preparation. Generally, count a few days for a standard room. Use RenoIndex to estimate average completion times during your overall planning.
