Floating floor
Floating floor: (ReadyFlor) The term floating timber floor relates to a timber floor that is not directly stuck to the subfloor. Floating floors are glued together along the four tongue and groove interfaces and when knocked together, float as an interlocked sheet across the floor. The fact that Readyflor is not vertically adhered to the subfloor during the installation process gives it significant advantages over other timber flooring options like traditional floorboards or parquetry. These advantages include:
Easy to Install, Maintain & Repair
Most floating floors are easy to install, easy to keep clean and maintain and easy to moderately easy to repair, should a board become damaged. In many cases, you can even replace a damaged board in the middle of a floor without disturbing adjoining boards!
Install Over Moist or Heated Concrete Subfloors
By installing a plastic sheeting beneath the foam underlay, rising moisture is prevented, making Readyflor both easy and inexpensive to install over a moist subfloor. Installation over heated concrete subfloors is also a breeze with Readyflor. Please check the Installation Instructions Section for advice on installation over heated concrete subfloors.
