Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Wohlen, RegBL data shows that out of 3190 registered buildings, 693 are under heritage protection, necessitating early consultation with the municipality regarding permits. Regarding building volume, data coverage is partial, with only 29 buildings measured according to the SIA 416 standard, showing a median of 920 m3. These volume figures are vital for determining the scope of heating or insulation works. Please note that the renovation year is not available for this municipality, preventing analysis based on building age. We recommend using these official figures as a foundation while acknowledging the specific limitations in current data coverage.

The importance of base preparation

The success of your flooring renovation in Wohlen depends primarily on the condition of your base. Indeed, the existing base, such as the screed or old tiles, often drives the cost more than the covering itself.

An uneven surface requires expensive levelling, while old tiles may need to be removed completely. It is crucial to inspect humidity and flatness before starting any installation.

Remember that these preparatory works determine the longevity of your future floor and help avoid inconveniences like cracks or creaking noises. Prioritise a professional inspection for a solid foundation.

Sound insulation requirements in condominiums

If you live in a condominium in Wohlen, sound insulation is a critical issue. Condominium rules often require impact-sound insulation under the flooring to protect your neighbours.

When choosing your new floor, it is mandatory to verify the technical specifications of the underlay. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to costly conflicts.

Ensure your materials are certified and compliant with local regulations to maintain lasting harmony within your building. Consulting experts will help you find products that balance comfort with strict acoustic standards.

Compatibility with underfloor heating

Most modern homes in Wohlen are equipped with underfloor heating. If this is your case, the choice of flooring is limited by thermal constraints.

It is recommended to choose compatible materials with low thermal resistance, such as tiles or specific vinyl, to allow heat to circulate efficiently.

A material that is too insulating risks blocking the heat diffusion, thereby increasing your energy consumption.

Always consult manufacturers' technical sheets to check thermal conductivity before finalising your purchase and ensuring optimal efficiency for your home's heating system.

Frequently asked questions

Which floors are best suited for underfloor heating?

Tiles, natural stone, and certain vinyls are excellent because they conduct heat very well. If you choose wood, opt for stable species with low thickness to limit thermal insulation.

Is it necessary to remove the old floor?

It depends on the condition of the current base. In some cases, it is possible to install new flooring over the old one, but an inspection is necessary to ensure stability and flatness.

What are the rules for impact sound in condominiums?

In a condominium, you must comply with the acoustic insulation standards set by your house rules. This often requires a specific underlay to limit noise transmission to lower floors.

How can I get a reliable quote for my floors?

First use the free RenoIndex simulator for a price range, then have several specialised companies perform an on-site assessment to obtain firm and comparable quotes.
