Why Is Floor Levelling Required?

Why Do I Need My Floors Leveled Before Installing Vinyl?

To ensure a smooth surface for your new flooring, you’ll need to level out any uneven areas in the existing subfloor by filling them in with a self-leveling compound.

Vinyl will suffer from surface imperfections or a poor aesthetic appearance if the floor below is not perfectly smooth and level. It is therefore essential to install a leveling compound to ensure an integrally sound, smooth, and level substrate for the floor covering.

But, just like with any other permanent product, it’s imperative that the existing floor is clean and dry, in excellent condition, and most important, level. A flat and level floor is key so that the adjoining vinyl plank flooring doesn’t have varying heights.

It is absolutely essential that the subfloor is completely level. The preparation of the subfloor depends on what type of vinyl you are installing. Make sure the subfloor is completely flat. Any unevenness of more than 0.2 mm over a length of 20 cm must be leveled out.

A flat and level floor is key so that the adjoining vinyl plank flooring doesn’t have varying heights. Whether you’ll be installing your Luxury Vinyl Flooring product over wood, tile, or concrete, the different types of subfloors require different types of preparation.
