We're often asked whether you can install LVT over a carpet or existing timber or ceramic floor. The answer is that installing LVT over anything other than a dry and level screed is not recommended. Vinyl is a rigid flooring material that requires a dry, smooth, and stable surface for proper installation to avoid issues such as uneven surfaces, cracking underneath, water damage or dampness, shifting, and eventual damage to the vinyl. It is therefore best to prepare the floor surface properly before installing LVT to ensure a successful and long-lasting flooring solution. #Belgotex #flooring #installation #tipsandtricks #LVT #vinyl #heterogenousvinyl

Construction Tip: How to Effectively Level a Floor A level floor is essential for any construction or remodeling project. Here's a tip to help you level a floor effectively: The "Four Corners" Method: 1. Place four reference points at the corners of the floor, using nails or screws. 2. Connect the reference points with strings or cables, forming a square. 3. Measure the distance between the strings at the center of the square. If the distance is equal in all directions, the floor is level. 4. If the floor is not level, adjust the reference points and re-measure until you achieve perfect leveling. 5. Once leveled, you can start installing the final flooring, whether it's wood, ceramic, or any other material. This method is quick, easy, and effective for ensuring a level and secure floor. # #constructiontips #constructiontipsC #constructiontips101 #constructiontipstamil #constructiontipshacks #constructiontipsntricks #constructiontipsintelugu #constructiontipsandtricks #constructiontipsfromthepros #constructiontipswithlakshminarayan #FloorLeveling #PerfectConstruction"

Proper floor preparation is crucial before installing new flooring. I recently encountered an unfortunate example of what happens when this essential step is neglected. The picture below was only installed about 7 years old and you can pick up pieces without using any tools. One critical aspect often overlooked is the use of floor primers, especially on quick-dry concrete. These primers create a smooth, stable surface that ensures optimal adhesion and longevity of the flooring. Additionally, it's vital to remove all old adhesives thoroughly. Failure to do so can lead to chemical reactions with the new adhesive, compromising the integrity of the installation. Don’t cut corners! Invest the time in proper prep work to avoid costly mistakes down the road.

To install the chipboard, batten out the joists and install a form of insulation making it flush with the top of the joists. You can then lay the chipboard, as it is an interlocking structural board that can be floated over the top of the joists. Once this has been done you can now lay your pipe throughout the pre-routed grooves provided on the board. For carpet and tile, you will need to install a 6mm separation layer in the form of a plyboard however with interlocking wood flooring and laminate this can be floated directly over the top. #underfloorheatinginstallation #ufh #underfloorheating #construction #homerenovation #homeimprovement #buildingdesign #plumbing

Flooring Installation Best Practices: A Complete Guide

Question: what R value would you use to describe this subfloor insulation system? R2.8? R3.43? Or something in-between? There is a 20mm (face) gap between layers of insulation. So counting from below it's 1) external air below the building, 2) 20mm polystyrene insulation, 20mm gap, 3) 60mm polystyrene, 4) 60mm polystyrene, 5) 20mm flooring.

Tongue and Groove vs Click Engineered Wooden Flooring What do you know about this? There are so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to decide what materials to pick and what method to install them in. Should you install them yourself or have a professional navigate this project? Hopefully by explaining the differences between these two installation methods, we can help you make more informed choices about your flooring projects. https://lnkd.in/eERXQa98 #artofflooring #engineeredwood #cambridge

So much of what effects the floor covering installation at the end of a build happens in the early stages when slabs are poured. One example that leads to a common problem is the installation of drains in wet areas such as shower stalls and kitchens. Drains, including clean outs, trench drains and grease traps, must be specified correctly to ensure long term flooring performance. Once installed, these mechanical components are not easy to replace as they are set into the concrete. Therefore, specifying the right drain detail is critical to avoid delays and expensive replacement costs. Too often this is overlooked and not discussed until the floor covering installer arrives on site…too late. Correct drain design allows proper termination of flooring at finished edges so that water, soaps, detergents and dirt do not penetrate beneath (i.e., when non-clamping drains are installed, cutting the flooring around the collar and using silicone to seal is often the band aid solution). The problem - silicone won’t stand the test of time, prevent adhesive bond failure, lifting, curling and cracking of the flooring, trip hazards, dirt and germ traps, voided warranties and ongoing expensive. repairs. www.nfca.ca #flooringinstallation #drains #commercialflooring #slabpour
