What Flooring Solutions Are Available?

Finding the right reliable company for flooring can be a long-winded process. Sometimes it seems to be difficult to level a floor without removing the old floor or relaying new floor, but it can be made possible through certain flooring solutions and specialist flooring companies. Two cases are discussed in this write-up to elaborate on this idea.

Screed or A Levelling Compound

The first idea presented for a solution is a floor screed or levelling compound. To install engineered hardwood flooring your existing floor should be crack-free and in good shape. You should use levelling compound on the low spots of the old floor to level it before glueing wood floor on it. You should sand the upper layer of tiles to allow the glue to hold the wood flooring more effectively.

Wooden Flooring

You can replace the tile floor of your kitchen laid in concrete foundation with wood flooring. Though you may not be able to use hardwood for this purpose, it can be made possible with various flooring solutions including engineered hardwood and laminate flooring with wood texture, on the existing floor. You can also use floating floor either without attaching it to the tiles or glueing it down on the tiles of the old floor.

Types of Tiles

 It can be one of the good flooring ideas for your existing vinyl floor if it is glued firmly on a concrete base. You only must scrub the floor to remove grease and dirt from it before applying a thin layer of mortar and tile on it.

But if the subfloor under vinyl tiles is of wood then first you will have to install a cement backer board of” thickness over the joints of the floor with corrosion-free screws before laying tiles.

Ceramic tiles can also be laid directly on the existing vinyl floor if it is perfectly levelled by an expert flooring company. But you will have to clean vinyl tiles for better adherence of the mortar. It is better to hire a professional to do the job.
