Everything you need to know about floor preparation


Having new floors installed in your home or office can go a long way towards brightening up the look, style and feel of any room. No matter whether you're thinking about new carpets, new tile floors in the kitchen or bathroom or any other style or type of new flooring, it's important that you choose an experienced company such as County Flooring in order to achieve the best results. We offer a full range of Nottingham flooring services, enabling you to get the floors of your dreams without all of the hassle and headache.
 
When it comes to flooring solutions, there is a whole lot more to it than simply laying down new tiles or carpets. Obviously, before the new flooring can be installed, it is first necessary to tear out the old flooring. Still, even once this is done, the new flooring cannot yet be installed, as first the floor surface must be properly prepared. Along with removing the old carpet, tiles or linoleum, it is also necessary to make sure that any glue, mortar or other adhesive is also fully removed from the floors otherwise the new flooring may not be able to properly bond, potentially causing major issues in the future.
 
Removing this adhesive material can be a tough, time consuming job, often requiring scraping, chemical removers and other techniques in order to ensure that every single speck has been fully removed.  Depending on the type of flooring being installed, it may also be necessary to do some grinding to the floor to make sure that the new flooring adheres to the concrete slab properly.
 
Basically, if the floor preparation is not done correctly, you may be seriously comprising the quality and durability of the new flooring. Without proper floor preparation, you might as well not even hire a Nottingham flooring solutions company, as you'll probably be just as well off with your old flooring rather than wasting the time and money of an inferior job that won't last. 
 
Still, when it comes to choosing new flooring, most people are still much more concerned with choosing the right style and design and how the finished product will look than they are with the little details like preparation. However, if you want your new floors to look their best and last, proper floor preparation is definitely just as important as the flooring that you choose. So don't waste your time and money on just any Nottingham flooring services, and instead give us a call or visit our website to see what County Flooring can do for you http://www.county-flooring.co.uk/services/
