It’s vital to prepare your subfloor before applying adhesive and laying your new flooring.
To begin with, you must ensure that your subfloor is smooth and even, or the finished look of your flooring won’t be great.
If your subfloor is concrete, also be sure to measure the humidity levels in the concrete and ensure it reads below 75% to prevent dampness and an uneven surface.
Then, remove any old adhesive, nails, grippers, dust and grease that may be above your subfloor – this should ensure a beautifully smooth surface for you to apply your adhesive and ultimately, your flooring.
