What are the actual costs of a new floor?
You have found the perfect floor, in your mind, you can already picture how it will look in your interior. You see the price per square meter and immediately start doing the math. But the cost of the planks is only the beginning. A new floor is a complete package, and it’s important to understand which elements determine the final price. That way, you know exactly what to expect and won’t be left with any surprises in the end.
The foundation: a smooth subfloor
A perfect end result starts with a solid foundation. A smooth, even subfloor is essential. If your current subfloor is not perfectly flat, it must be leveled first. This is not an unnecessary luxury, but a necessary step for a floor that will look beautiful for many years.
The underlay: an invisible but crucial layer
Beneath the floor you see lies a layer that is invisible but essential for both comfort and durability. With a click floor, the underlay provides stability and sound absorption. With a glue-down LVT floor, a leveling compound is often used to create a perfectly smooth and solid surface.
Installation: craftsmanship makes the difference
The most beautiful floor truly shines only when it is installed by a skilled professional. Installation requires precision and makes the difference between an “okay” floor and a “wow” floor. A professional installation ensures a seamless result you can enjoy every single day.
The finishing touches make all the difference. Baseboards complete the look, creating a clean transition from floor to wall and giving the entire space a polished, well-finished appearance.
