Another busy week for our team, completing a fantastic flooring transformation for our customers, Kay and Rick!
This particular job involved several different areas, each requiring its own preparation methods and careful planning to achieve the best possible finish.
🔨 FIRST UP – THE PREPARATION!
We started by applying a damp-proof membrane (DPM) throughout the hallway and correct primers for kitchen, followed by a self-levelling screed compound to create a suitable surface for our LVT installation.
We also delivered the flooring materials to site in advance, allowing them to acclimatise in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations before installation.
🏡 NEXT UP – THE LOUNGE!
Returning the following day, we began installing laminate flooring throughout the lounge.
The existing floor consisted of concrete-slab- meaning careful consideration had to be given to which flooring products and installation methods would be suitable.
Not every product can simply be fitted over an existing floor, and that’s where experience and product knowledge really matter!
✨ HALLWAY & KITCHEN – LVT INSTALLATION!
Next, we moved on to installing luxury LVT flooring throughout the hallway and kitchen.
This wasn’t quite as straightforward as it might look!
With a noticeable slope between the hallway areas, preparation was absolutely crucial. Using specialist smoothing compounds, we carefully prepared the surfaces to achieve the best possible finish.
The kitchen also had existing ceramic tiles, so once again, the correct preparation methods and suitable materials were essential.
🚪 THE FINISHING TOUCHES!
To complete the transformation, we installed entrance matting in the porch, providing a practical and attractive finishing touch to the job.
