There is more that goes into constructing a new building than many people realize. Precision and first-time correct installations for all of the various parts of a new construction are highly important for the safety and longevity of the building. For flooring, this means ensuring a level subfloor before the materials installed on top of the subfloor can be placed.
Floor leveling is the process of making sure that the concrete subflooring is perfectly level and ready for the next steps of floor installation. An even surface is very important for a flooring installation, and not just for the aesthetic benefit of a smooth and consistent appearance. Flooring materials installed over an uneven subfloor won’t connect and lay flat the way they’re supposed to in order to ensure that the flooring materials hold up over time. Resting on an uneven surface, even if the slope of the uneven subfloor is minor or seemingly insignificant, will damage the flooring as time goes by. Floor leveling helps prevent this problem by making sure the area isn’t sloped or uneven.
Uneven floors also present a tripping hazard for people. While uneven floors are a problem no matter what type of building they’re in, for new constructions in industrial or commercial settings where the use of heavy equipment and machinery is more likely, this can be especially disastrous. For the safety of you and your employees, you’ll want to make sure your subfloor is perfectly level to prevent tripping hazards due to a sloped subfloor.
