Schitterende houten vloer in jouw renovatiewoning
Bezoek de showroom
You can renovate an existing home, making it possible to return the home to its old, traditional state. Older homes often have a rich past with special architectural styles, ornaments and parquet floors. Many of our customers want to modernize their home or restore their monumental building to its traditional state and at the same time provide their interior with a classic wooden floor with a modern twist.
Wooden floor as the basis of interior design
A wooden floor often forms the basis of an interior and has a great impact on the experience of a space. In addition, wood fits well with the traditional appearance of the building.
The challenge here is to renovate the house in such a way that the traditional details of the old house are beautifully combined with a modern interior, especially when several parties are involved in the renovation or restoration.
Interior architect
An interior architect is often asked to supervise the renovation and redesign of the home. Ideas are developed by the architect and together with the client we determine which suppliers are most suitable for carrying out the assignment.
Uipkes has delivered many project floors and regularly collaborates with leading interior architects. Our experience with project management, quality control and our own team of highly experienced parquet fitters means that clients enjoy working with us.
Additional custom work
During the renovation, we can not only provide your old home with a beautiful wooden floor, but also carry out a lot of other work for you, so that you do not have to work with 10 different parties, each of whom has their own interpretation of the assignment, which often does not benefit planning and unity in design.
For example, we can:
- Install underfloor heating in a new screed.
- Cover your stairs with solid oak steps in the same color as the wooden floor. You will receive a combination discount if you purchase both a wooden floor and underfloor heating from us.
- Stair railings, cupboards, architraves, window sills and convector pit grilles are made of oak, all finished in the same unique Uipkes color.
- Help remove old floors or move furniture to relieve your worries.
- When renovating your home, immediately apply outdoor parquet
The advantage is that you always have one point of contact for all work and schedules can be coordinated more easily.

Condition of the renovation home
Technical factors also play a major role. If you want to install a wooden floor in your existing home, it is important to map the current condition of the room in question.
Particularly in an older home, adjustments and extensions have often led to differences in the types of subfloors and sills, among other things.
If necessary, take a few photos of the subfloor so that we have a better idea of your subfloor during your visit to our showroom, so that we can provide better advice.
Types of subfloors
Older homes often have a wooden load-bearing floor. In renovations in which you choose to use underfloor heating, a gypsum fiber board can be placed on the supporting floor. The pipes for the underfloor heating can be milled here. An alternative is to cast a floor on this construction, but a construction calculation is recommended. If the poured floor is too heavy, you can choose to remove the beamed floor in its entirety.
Around the 1970s, sand-cement/concrete floors began to be used. The advantage here is that these were isolated more often. You can also mill the underfloor heating directly into the sand-cement floor, so you lose minimal height. Check carefully where any electrical and water pipes run through the floor.

Preliminary inspection
To ensure that your new wooden floor fully matches the features of your home, we will be happy to visit you for a preliminary inspection approximately four weeks before the floor is delivered. During this appointment we will identify any adjustments to be made and additional precautions to be taken:
- We measure the surfaces of the rooms in which the wooden floor will be installed.
- We check the condition and moisture percentage of (new) subfloors by means of measurements.
- We check the rooms for details, for example: grilles and shutters that need to be cut out.
We will discuss any consequences for the installation process with you, so that you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a wooden floor in my existing renovation home?
Yes, it is certainly possible to install a wooden floor in a renovated home. Wooden floors can be a beautiful and durable choice for renovation projects, as they provide a warm and natural look and can increase the value of your home. However, it is important to check the condition of the subfloor and make any necessary repairs before installing the wooden floor.
Do I have to remove my existing floor before I can install a wooden floor in my renovation home?
In some cases it may be necessary to remove the existing floor before a wooden floor can be installed in a renovated home. This depends on the condition and type of the existing floor. A professional flooring installer can assess the situation and advise whether it is necessary to remove the floor or whether the new wooden floor can be installed on top.
Can I combine underfloor heating with a wooden floor in my renovation home?
Yes, it is possible to combine underfloor heating with a wooden floor in a renovation home. However, it is important to ensure that the wooden floor is suitable for underfloor heating and that it is installed correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines. An experienced floor installer can help you make the right choices and ensure a properly functioning underfloor heating system.
How can I best maintain my wooden floor in my renovation home?
The maintenance of a wooden floor in a renovated home requires regular care. Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and sand, and use a special wooden floor cleaner to clean the floor. Avoid excessive water use and clean spilled liquids immediately to prevent stains. In addition, it is important to have the floor inspected periodically and refinished if necessary to maintain its durability.
Can a wooden floor help with sound insulation in my renovation home?
Yes, wooden floors can contribute to sound insulation in a renovated home. Wood has natural sound-deadening properties and can help reduce sound transmission to adjacent rooms. The use of sound-absorbing underlay materials and felt pads under furniture can further improve the sound-insulating properties. It is also possible to install sound insulation panels between the floor and the subfloor for additional noise reduction.
