Floor Rectification
What is floor rectification?
Floor rectification is a process of leveling and smoothing uneven floor surfaces. This involves removing high points and filling low points to create a consistently flat and level plane. The goal is to create a suitable base for the installation of new flooring or to repair existing floors that have become uneven due to age, damage or poor initial installation. The methods used depend heavily on the type of existing floor and the desired end result.
What is the process of floor rectification?
The process can vary significantly but generally involves these steps:
- Assessment: A thorough inspection is performed to determine the extent of unevenness, identify the type of sub floor, and assess any underlying issues.
- Preparation: The existing floor surface might require cleaning, debris removal, or the removal of loose or damaged materials.
- Leveling: This is the core of the process and may involve several techniques:
- Grinding: For concrete floors, grinding machines with diamond-tipped tooling are used to remove high points and level the surface. This can be a dusty process and requires specialized equipment and expertise.
- Planing: Wooden subfloors may be planed to level them, removing high spots.
- Self-leveling compounds: These are poured onto the floor to fill low spots and create a level surface. Various compounds exist for different situations (e.g., fast-drying, high-strength).
- Screeding: A process of manually leveling a floor using a screed to spread a leveling compound.
- Repairing: Any cracks, holes, or other damage are repaired before leveling to ensure a stable and even final surface.
- Priming (if necessary): A primer might be applied to improve the adhesion of subsequent flooring materials.
- Inspection and Final Leveling: After the leveling compound has dried, another inspection is done to ensure the floor is sufficiently level. Minor adjustments may be needed.
Why should we floor rectification periodically?
- Prevent Damage to New Flooring: Uneven floors can cause new flooring materials to crack, buckle, or become damaged prematurely.
- Improve Aesthetics: A level floor looks better and provides a more consistent and professional finish for any overlaying flooring.
- Enhance Safety: Uneven floors can create tripping hazards, posing a safety risk.
- Correct Subfloor Issues: Rectification can address underlying issues like damaged subflooring that might otherwise cause future problems.
What are the concernsin floor rectification?
- Dust and Debris: Grinding and sanding can create significant dust, requiring appropriate safety precautions and containment measures.
- Time and Disruption: Floor rectification can be a time-consuming process that requires significant disruption to the area.
- Cost: Professional floor rectification services can be costly, especially for large or severely damaged floors.
- Moisture Issues: If moisture is present in the subfloor, it needs to be addressed before rectification to prevent future problems.
- Skill and Expertise: The process requires skill and experience to achieve a consistently level and smooth surface. Improper techniques can worsen the unevenness.
