Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation planning in Oberwil, official register data shows that 981 buildings are protected as heritage, meaning you must contact municipal authorities early to discuss permit requirements. Regarding scale, the median house volume is 875 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, which is essential for calculating heating and insulation needs. Please note that data coverage for building volumes is partial, as only 39 buildings have been measured under this standard out of 1912 houses identified. Homeowners should use these figures as a starting point for assessing the scope and potential costs of their specific renovation project.

Assessing the subfloor condition

The existing base, whether it is a screed or old tiles, often drives the cost more than the covering itself. An uneven surface usually requires costly leveling to ensure a durable installation.

Before selecting your material, have the current floor inspected by a professional to avoid unpleasant surprises.

A sound and leveled base is essential to prevent future parquet from warping or tiles from cracking over time, thereby ensuring the longevity of your investment and saving you from unnecessary and expensive repairs later on.

Impact-sound insulation in condominiums

In apartment buildings, condominium rules often require impact-sound insulation to minimize noise disturbances between floors. Choosing a high-quality acoustic underlay is therefore crucial.

This is not just about personal comfort but often a regulatory requirement within building bylaws to protect the neighbors' peace.

Be sure to check these technical specifications before purchasing, as some materials require thicker or specific underlays that may affect the total height of your new floor, which is an important factor to consider during your project planning.

Choosing flooring for underfloor heating

If your home has underfloor heating, the choice of material is highly technical. It is imperative to choose a compatible, low-insulation covering to allow for optimal heat diffusion.

Materials like tiles or natural stone are ideal, but certain specific parquet or vinyl floors are also engineered for this purpose. A thermal resistance that is too high would prevent heat from circulating, reducing the energy efficiency of your system.

Always consult the manufacturer's technical specifications to confirm that your chosen floor is certified for use over underfloor heating.

Frequently asked questions

Is parquet unsuitable for underfloor heating?

No, but it must be compatible. Opt for engineered wood flooring, which is more stable against temperature variations. Always check the manufacturer's technical sheet to confirm compatibility with your specific underfloor heating system.

Must the old floor always be removed?

Not necessarily. If the existing base is sound, flat, and stable, it may be possible to install new flooring over it. This saves on disposal costs. However, a professional should assess the floor's levelness and suitability first.

How long does the installation take?

The duration depends on the surface area, installation type (glued or floating), and subfloor preparation. Generally, expect a few days, excluding drying time if you choose a glued installation method.

Is acoustic insulation really necessary?

Yes, it is crucial in apartments for your neighbors' comfort. It is often mandated by building bylaws to comply with acoustic standards, ensuring that noise transmission to lower floors is kept to a minimum.
