Substrate preparation<\/b><\/p>\n

Quality subfloor preparation is the foundation of any long-lasting and stable floor.
Before installing parquet, laminate or vinyl, the subfloor must be flat, dry, clean and solid.<\/b>Only in this way problems such as deformation, creaking or cracking of the floor can be avoided.<\/p>\n

Our team at Ekorustik Interijer\u00ae<\/b> expertly performs all stages of subfloor preparation, using proven materials and techniques that guarantee a perfect final result.<\/p>\n

Measuring moisture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Measuring moisture in cement screed is crucial before flooring installation to prevent catastrophic failures like adhesive failure, warping, buckling, blistering, mold growth, and discoloration, ensuring the floor's longevity, stability, and healthy indoor air quality, as excess moisture traps beneath finishes, causing damage and costly repairs.<\/p>\n

Sanding the screed<\/b><\/p>\n

Sanding the screed is necessary to remove surface layers of dust, dirt and cement laitance that reduce the adhesion of adhesives or leveling compounds.
After sanding, the surface becomes clean, rough and ideal for further work \u2013 whether it is gluing parquet or applying self-leveling compound.<\/p>\n

Fermacell \/ Knauf dry floors<\/b><\/p>\n

In renovations or areas where it is not possible to install a classic cement screed, we install Fermacell<\/b> or Knauf dry floors.<\/b>.
These systems provide a quick, clean and easy solution - without long drying times, ideal for apartments, attics and areas with underfloor heating.
The advantage is excellent thermal and sound insulation<\/b> and the possibility of installation immediately after assembly.<\/p>\n

Constructed Subfloor<\/b><\/p>\n

When there are larger irregularities or the floor is installed on a wooden structure, we create a Constructed Subfloor<\/b>.
Depending on the needs, a wooden or metal beans are used to ensure stability, flatness and good ventilation of<\/b>the floor.
This prevents moisture and extends the life of the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Leveling with leveling compound<\/b><\/p>\n

To achieve a perfectly flat surface, we use self-leveling compounds<\/b> of various types and thicknesses, depending on the condition of the substrate
This process removes minor irregularities and guarantees an even surface ready for gluing or floating installation of the floor.
The result is a stable, smooth and durable base<\/b> for any type of floor covering.<\/p>\n

Thorough preparation of the subfloor is key to a long life and impeccable appearance of the floor.<\/b>.
Our experts take care of every detail \u2013 from sanding and leveling to the installation of modern dry floors.
With a properly prepared subfloor, your floor will look better, last longer and provide maximum comfort with every step.<\/p>\n<\/div>
