A perfect floor provides the perfect flooring finish. Whatever flooring you choose, it is essential to ensure that the surface the flooring is to be laid on is the right one. Floor preparation is therefore key to the final flooring result.

The Floorsmith professional team will advise on the preparation needed, as each property and fit is unique. We can adjust heights to ensure a level surface using a range of products in both commercial and domestic home environments. Having an immaculate latex base, for example, ensures your laminate vinyl tiles (LVT), carpet tiles, vinyl and safety flooring will look flawless. We can also lay a liquid damp proof membrane (DPM), if required.

Once the base floor is prepared, it is important to use the correct underlay product. Underlay provides additional comfort; helps lessens sound transfer and assists in draught reduction and insulation.

Underlay is not just used under carpet. Using an underlay specifically for use with laminate flooring, for example, will help with noise reduction and insulation of your flooring. Underlay comes in a variety of thicknesses and quality to suit every budget and there are also 100% recycled underlay products available made from recycled plastic bottles.
