Subfloor: why it’s crucial for your floor

A subfloor might seem like a minor detail, but nothing could be further from the truth. This subtle element plays a crucial role in the quality and durability of your final flooring. Whether you’re considering wood, parquet, or laminate flooring, a good subfloor is the key to optimal results. Read on to learn everything about the importance of subfloors and how to choose the right one for your situation.

What is a subfloor?

A subfloor is a layer of material placed between the hard base and your final floor covering. This layer acts as a buffer, offering a range of benefits, from noise reduction to added comfort underfoot. There are different types of subfloors available, each with specific properties to meet your needs.

The purpose of a subfloor

A subfloor serves several purposes. First, it provides an even surface, which is essential for a beautiful and durable finish. Additionally, a subfloor helps reduce noise, both within your own home and for your neighbors. Moreover, a subfloor can also contribute to thermal and acoustic insulation, providing extra cushioning and comfort.

When should you use a subfloor?

Using a subfloor is often necessary when installing floor coverings like laminate, PVC, or parquet. If the base isn’t perfectly level, a subfloor can help compensate for small imperfections. This is especially important when laying flooring on a concrete base or in renovations where the existing floor isn’t completely flat.

Floor leveling

Before installing a subfloor, it may be necessary to level the base. This provides the perfect foundation for your new floor covering and prevents future issues. Floor leveling involves filling in any uneven areas and creating a smooth, solid base. This process can be performed by a professional to ensure that the subfloor and final flooring fit perfectly.

The process

Laying a subfloor is a relatively simple process, but it requires precision. First, the base is thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Then, the subfloor is rolled out or placed and secured, depending on the type. Once the subfloor is installed, the final floor covering can be applied. A professional flooring specialist can carry out this process quickly and efficiently, often within one day.

How long does it take?

In most cases, installing a subfloor can be completed within one working day. This depends on the size of the space and the condition of the base. For a fast and professional installation, it’s wise to hire an expert who has experience with laying different types of subfloors.

Rates & costs

The cost of installing a subfloor can vary depending on the type of subfloor and the size of the area. While exact figures are not listed, it’s important to know that investing in a quality subfloor will contribute to the lifespan and comfort of your floor covering.
