Floor Leveling

Steps of Flooring Levelling

Step1: Checking for Levelness

  • Use a level tool to check the evenness of the subfloor. Identify low and high spots.

Step2:Grinding or Smoothing the Surface

Floor grinding is important for several reasons:

  • Surface Preparation: It helps prepare the floor surface for coatings, sealants, or overlays, ensuring better adhesion and longevity.
  • Restoration: Grinding can restore the appearance of worn or damaged floors, making them look new again.
  • Smoothness: It creates a smooth, even surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
  • Dust Control: Professional grinding minimizes dust compared to other methods, leading to a cleaner environment.
  • Durability: It enhances the durability of floors by removing surface imperfections and contaminants.

Overall, floor grinding contributes to the aesthetic appeal, safety, and longevity of various
flooring materials.

Step3:Applying Floor Leveling Compound

  • For larger discrepancies, apply a self-leveling compound. 
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

Step4: Final Inspection

  • Once the leveling compound has dried, conduct a final inspection to ensure the surface is flat and ready for flooring.
Infrastructure Considerations

Structural Integrity 

  • Ensure that the joists and beams are structurally sound to support the flooring material. 
  • Consider reinforcing areas if necessary.

Acoustic Insulation 

  • For sound reduction, consider incorporating soundproofing materials into the flooring infrastructure. 
  • Review local building codes for additional insulation requirements.
