What to Check Before Installing New Flooring

Proper preparation is one of the most important steps when installing new flooring. Taking the time to check the subfloor, moisture levels and fit helps ensure your new floor looks beautiful and performs well for years to come.

The subfloor must be smooth, clean and level before any flooring is laid. Any bumps or uneven areas can lead to movement or damage over time. A professional installation team will assess the subfloor and make any necessary adjustments to create a stable base. Moisture levels should also be checked especially when installing wood or laminate. Excess moisture can cause warping or swelling, so ensuring the area is dry is essential.

Room measurements are another vital factor. Accurate measuring helps avoid gaps or waste and ensures a perfect fit. Doors, skirting boards and transitions to other rooms all need to be considered before installation begins.

By preparing the space correctly, you can enjoy a flawless finish that lasts. If you would like support with subfloor checks or installation planning, our experienced team is here to help. Visit our showroom or contact us for expert guidance.
