When heavy objects such as kitchen tables or heavy cookware hit a wooden floor they can leave dents or scratches.
Kitchen flooring uneven surface. All that noise a floor makes comes from one main reason. Floating floor the best floor for uneven surface. If there is not a slab already available then a new pour can be done over a variety of subfloor surfaces. High moisture levels in the kitchen can cause the floorboards to bend or warp giving the floor an uneven surface.
Although not as flexible as carpet vinyl still conforms easily to the shape of the floor underneath it. Available in sheets and tiles vinyl flooring is easy to install and works well on uneven surfaces. This is due to the pressure applied on the top of the flooring when it meets pockets of air beneath the surface caused by the unevenness of the subflooring. A floating floor on an uneven subfloor will eventually create loud pops and knocks as you walk across the surface.
Installation of floating floors are easy and fast because planks click or snap together quickly and float above the subflooring surface. Their rigid nature shows all of the waves in an uneven floor. Gradual bends in the floor surface will be fairly easy to install over but sharp corners will damage nearly any flooring option over time. I screwed a 1x6 to the floor along the wall on the low side.
It s expensive but works. Large water spills can allow mildew to grow under the surface of the floor and may cause unsightly stains. The thicker the flooring is the more likely it actually is to break and become stressed. One option on a floor that will have only minor depressions is to prepare the subfloor first using a self leveling compound.
One side of the floor was 2 cm lower than the opposite side. I then mixed up two bags of floor leveler 26 a bag years ago and let it run all over the low spot until it was the height of the 1x6. Vinyl gets glued to the floor and then smoothed over the surfaces where it will easily cover and mold to small peaks and valleys. A little cheat to help work past a small dip in your subfloor when installing laminate flooring.
A floating floor is easily installed without using glue staples or nails making it an exceptional diy floor option. The floor consisted of 2 chip boarded areas and one concrete area. Tile and composite floors look great but only when installed on completely flat surfaces. This surface can then be polished stained or treated in a variety of ways to make it a very stylish and attractive flooring for the kitchen.
This is my first attempt at levelling an uneven kitchen floor. I once had an old house where the kitchen floor had settled 3 4 of an inch on one side. I then had a level floor to work. It should be noted that even flexible flooring can be damaged if the flooring is uneven enough.
