Solving Common Flooring Challenges in Swindon Homes
Every home presents different structural challenges. Our installation process is engineered to ensure your Karndean floor performs perfectly in every local environment.
New Build Screed Floors – North Swindon
Redhouse, Oakhurst & Tadpole Garden Village
Modern concrete screeds often retain hidden moisture. We perform digital RH moisture testing as standard.
Solution: If required, we install a liquid damp proof membrane (DPM) to protect the adhesive bond and your warranty.
Victorian Timber Floors – Old Town & Eastcott
Period Terraces & Heritage Properties
Older timber floors are often uneven or flexible. We never install directly over raw floorboards.
Solution: We fit SP101 flooring grade plywood to create a rock-solid, smooth surface that prevents board lines from showing.
Sun-Exposed Extensions – West Swindon
Large Glazing & Bi-Fold Doors
Intense heat from bi-folds can cause standard adhesives to soften, leading to gapping or lifting.
Solution: We specify high-temperature adhesives specifically engineered to stay stable under extreme solar heat.
