Subfloor Installation and Vinyl Flooring Preparation in Suffolk

Subfloor preparation is a crucial step in ensuring the success of your flooring project, especially for vinyl flooring preparation. At Eye Flooring, we understand the significance of proper subfloor preparation, and we take it seriously.

Your subfloor, essentially the foundation for your new floor, is just as important as the top layer you choose. If it's not adequately prepared, it can lead to various problems like tiles lifting, shrinkage, and uneven surfaces. We have extensive experience working with different types of subfloors, including wood, concrete, and even less common materials like anhydrite.

Our approach involves thorough moisture testing with a hydrometer to ensure the relative humidity is below recommended levels. If necessary, we'll apply a damp-proof membrane (DPM) to protect your new flooring from dampness.

The specific preparation steps depend on the type of existing flooring you have. In some cases, we can install the new flooring directly over the existing one. For wooden floors, we use a flooring-grade ply-board to create a stable surface. On concrete floors, we prime the surface and apply a screed to even out imperfections and provide a smooth, solid base for the new flooring.

At Eye Flooring, we never cut corners when it comes to preparation. We handle everything, from the start of your installation to the finish. We can also assist with furniture removal and room clearing, as well as the removal of your old flooring. All these details are discussed during your complimentary measure and site visit before we begin your installation.

Don't underestimate the importance of subfloor preparation. It's the foundation of a successful, long-lasting flooring project, especially for vinyl flooring. Trust Eye Flooring to ensure it's done right.
