Frequently asked questions about Flooring Guarantee
Why are moisture readings important?
Excess moisture is the number one cause of flooring failure. BS 8203 specifies maximum moisture levels: 75% RH for most resilient flooring, 65% RH for wood. A hygrometer test (BS 8201) determines if the subfloor is ready for installation.
What is subfloor preparation?
Subfloor preparation may include levelling compound to correct unevenness, DPM (damp-proof membrane) for moisture protection, plywood overlay for timber substrates, or grinding/shot-blasting for adhesion. Correct preparation is essential for a lasting installation.
