Floor levelling and smoothing
In older buildings the floor is rarely level. Falls, waves, differences in height between rooms and remnants of old coverings turn every new installation into a problem: parquet creaks, tiles crack over voids, vinyl telegraphs every unevenness. A levelling layer does not solve this cosmetically – it creates the surface on which a covering can last at all.

services offered by the practice
Bringing uneven floors to a surface on which any covering sits properly.
Typical occasions
Wann diese Untersuchung sinnvoll ist
- The old floor covering is out and the substrate is wavy or has holes
- A step between two rooms or up to the threshold
- A new covering is to be laid and requires a level surface
- The screed is cracked, dusting or has voids
- Remnants of adhesive, tiles or paint on the substrate
Methods used
Womit wir am Bauwerk arbeiten
- Checking the substrate for load-bearing capacity, moisture and adhesion
- Flatness measurement to DIN 18202, so the deviation has a number
- Preparation: grinding, milling or shot blasting, removing old material
- A primer matched to the substrate
- Levelling compound at the necessary thickness, applied self-smoothing
- Checking flatness and residual moisture before the covering is laid
What you receive
Das erhalten Sie
- A level, load-bearing surface ready to receive a covering
- Measured flatness values before and after
- The residual moisture stated, so the floor layer can build up safely
- A substrate on which the new covering holds instead of working loose
