Sub Floors
Before getting your new wood floor there are a few thing to bear
in mind. The first is
damp.
Are your subfloors damp, i.e. is moisture rising through your
concrete slab, or, is
the void between floorboards and sub floor well ventilated, your
air bricks
should be free from blockages and contamination, if not this will
most
certainly cause damp to your wood floor
We check for this on our site visits, using our damp meters in
conjunction with
our humidity testers, if you are unsure please feel free to contact
us, we can
advise on solving the problem whether it be a (DPM) damp proof
membrane
installed by us or an asphalt membrane, fitted by our asphalt
contractor. We
will leave no stone unturned, as damp is a wood floor destroyer and
will ultimately
ruin your beautiful wood floor.
Next is your sub floor. Is your sub floor uneven and in a level
state i.e. are there
any humps, bumps or holes that need, filled, screeded or levelled.
We can solve
almost any problem we come across due to our wealth of knowledge
and experience
in the trade.
