One of the most important conditions for durable paving is a properly prepared substrate. If the substrate is uneven or defective, the paving may become problematic over time: it may crack, peel off, or have aesthetic defects.
The purpose of subfloor leveling is to create a flat, stable and load-bearing surface before tiling.
During Burkoló24's work in Budapest, we often encounter coverings where subsequent problems actually result from inadequate substrate preparation.
Subfloor leveling is a preparatory work process in which a flat surface is created using a special leveling material before tiling.
This is especially important for coverings that are sensitive to unevenness in the substrate.
The purpose of subfloor leveling is to:
A properly prepared substrate ensures that the covering remains stable in the long term.
Substrate leveling is necessary if the substrate is not sufficiently flat or defective before tiling.
The most common cases:
If these problems are not repaired, the cover may later become mobile or unstable.
Unevenness of the substrate can cause problems with all types of flooring, but certain types of flooring are particularly susceptible to it.
Laminate flooring is sensitive to uneven subfloors. If the subfloor is not suitable, the floor will:
SPC flooring has a stable structure, but it is a thin covering, so it can tolerate defects in the substrate just as much as laminate floors.
In the case of paving slabs and tiles, an uneven substrate:
Subfloor leveling is a
