Sub-Floor Levelling

We level your sub-floor using quality priming and self-levelling products, removing dips and humps to leave a smooth, even base on which your new floor can be laid.

Sub-floor leveling is a specialized construction process aimed at creating a flat, smooth, and even surface on an existing sub-floor or substrate. It involves the use of various materials and techniques to correct imperfections such as dips, humps, cracks, and unevenness in the sub-floor. The goal of sub-floor leveling is to provide a stable and uniform foundation on which new flooring materials can be installed.

PROCESS

Initial Assessment:
Evaluate the existing sub-floor for dips, humps, cracks, and unevenness. Identify the type of flooring to be installed and any specific requirements.
Preparation:
Clean the sub-floor thoroughly to remove debris, dirt, and contaminants. Repair any major cracks, holes, or structural issues.
Priming:
Apply a high-quality primer to the sub-floor to enhance adhesion and prevent moisture-related issues. The primer also helps in creating a uniform surface for the self-leveling product.
Mixing and Application of Self-Leveling Compound:
Prepare the self-leveling compound according to manufacturer specifications. Pour the compound onto the sub-floor strategically, taking into account the starting point and working towards an exit to avoid walking on the wet compound.
Spreading and Leveling:
Use specialized tools like spiked rollers or leveling pins to evenly spread and level the self-leveling compound across the sub-floor. Work quickly to prevent the compound from setting before achieving a smooth surface.
Drying and Curing:
Allow the self-leveling compound to dry and cure as per manufacturer recommendations. Ensure proper ventilation to aid in the curing process.
Final Inspection:
Inspect the leveled sub-floor for any imperfections. Address minor issues if needed and ensure the surface is ready for the installation of the new flooring material.

BENEFITS

Smooth and Even Base:
Sub-floor leveling creates a perfectly even surface, eliminating dips, humps, and other irregularities that could affect the final flooring.
Enhanced Flooring Durability:
A level sub-floor prevents premature wear and tear, ensuring the new flooring material lasts longer.
Improved Aesthetic Appeal:
A smooth and even sub-floor enhances the overall appearance of the space and provides a professional finish to the flooring.
Better Adhesion:
The use of primers and self-leveling compounds enhances the adhesion of the new flooring material, reducing the risk of issues like delamination.
Time and Cost Savings:
Sub-floor leveling reduces the need for excessive floor preparation, minimizing installation time and costs.
Correcting Structural Flaws:
Sub-floor leveling can address minor structural flaws, ensuring a stable and safe foundation for the new floor.
