Advantages of a PVC floor
PVC floors have been extremely popular in recent years. Especially for people who get a new house delivered, in most cases a PVC floor goes in. Logical, because PVC floors have many advantages. For example, PVC floors are generally very easy to maintain, only a vacuum cleaner and mop are necessary for this. In addition, PVC floors are generally water resistant at SOLZA in any case. Of course, the floors are not supposed to be flooded for hours, but they can certainly have a certain amount of water. In addition, most PVC floors are also suitable for underfloor heating, they have a dampening effect (useful for an apartment, for example) and they are scratch-resistant. The latter is especially useful when there are children or pets in the game.
What is leveling?
This is a question we are often asked. Floor leveling means that a floor is made smooth/flat. "Will my floor be leveled?" No, we smooth the floor so that the PVC floor can adhere, but do not make it completely level. Do you want a floor that is completely level and is it not? Then it is best to hire a contractor for a new screed. This means that after leveling, there may still be slopes in the subfloor. In all cases, it is imperative to level your subfloor. This is especially true for bonded PVC floors. A strip of PVC is only 2 to 2.5 mm thick. If you do not level the floor, all dents, bumps, granules and other unevenness in the subfloor will become visible through the PVC floor over time. In addition, the leveling layer ensures that the PVC adhesive adheres better. Leveling is therefore absolutely necessary for a glued PVC floor. But it may also be necessary with click PVC or parquet floors. In this article we give you more information about the importance of floor leveling.
Why is leveling necessary with a PVC floor?
PVC floors come in different types, sizes, colors and shapes. Especially with a slab of PVC floor, however, is it necessary to level the existing surface well first? Why? Because these floors are generally quite thin and any small deviation in the subfloor can be felt as a result. You don't want to have laid a beautiful whalebone PVC floor and then there are all kinds of bumps and dots in it, right? Exactly and therefore leveling is absolutely a must. Good to know!
