The first, and arguably the most crucial step in commercial flooring installation is to prepare the subfloor.
There’s no point spending a fortune on the highest quality industrial flooring that money can buy if you’re not going to invest in adequately preparing the ground it sits on.
What is subfloor preparation?
If commercial flooring is installed on a suboptimum surface, you could face issues such as peeling, unevenness and bubbling further down the road.
Proper floor preparation will ensure that all dirt and contaminants are removed prior to the installation of your commercial flooring. Additionally, high-tech machinery is used to ensure that the surface is entirely level and smooth.
As a leading specialist in commercial and industrial flooring, here at Quest Flooring we offer professional floor preparation for projects of all sizes. You can choose to take advantage of this as a standalone service, or in conjunction with one of our packages – such as resin flooring installation.
What methods of floor preparation do Quest Flooring use?
