摘要

Installing a new floorcovering seems like a straightforward task, but things are not always that simple. In fact, there are a number of problems that can affect the effectiveness of the subfloor preparation products used to create a smooth and durable surface and the adhesive used to secure the floorcovering to the subfloor. Neil Sanders,Technical Manager at F. Ball and Co. Ltd., the UK's leading manufacturer of flooring adhesives and subfloor preparation products, examines the common challenges encountered during new build and refurbishment projects and outlines some of the simple solutions to overcome them. Choosing the most appropriate subfloor preparation products, as well as implementing good installation practices is essentiaL to maximise the aesthetics and durability of a floorcovering and guarantee its long-term performance. During a flooring installation project, the British Standards BS 8203, BS 5325 and BS 8201 should be used as a guide to best practice for the preparation of a subfloor.
