HOUTEN VLOER ZWEVEND OP FOLIE
Bezoek de showroom
A wooden floor is generally installed floating when noise standards must be taken into account.
WOODEN FLOOR FLOATING ON FOIL
A floating wooden floor has a noise reduction of 11dB and is therefore suitable for apartments. If desired, we supply the subfloors with an 11 dB sound reduction certificate. Also when the wooden floor must be movable, floating installation is the solution. A floating wooden floor can be installed in existing homes and is also very suitable for new-build homes. With this installation method, the floor is placed on foil. This is only possible with engineered wood flooring; it doesn't matter how wide you want the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a floating floor installation?
A floating floor installation refers to installing the floor without permanently attaching it to the subfloor. Instead, the floor is placed on a vapor barrier foil that is placed on the subfloor. The planks are interconnected, but not attached to the subfloor.
What are the advantages of floating engineered wood flooring?
Floating installation of engineered wooden floors offers several advantages. It is relatively easy and quick to install, it can be installed on a variety of subfloors, and it allows for disassembly and relocation as needed. In addition, floating installation minimizes sound transmission and can reduce the impact on the subfloor.
What is the role of foil in floating installation of engineered wood flooring?
The foil, usually a vapor barrier foil, is used as a moisture barrier between the subfloor and the engineered wood floor. It prevents moisture from the subfloor from affecting the wood and helps prevent moisture problems. The foil also provides some sound insulation and can compensate for minor irregularities in the subfloor.
Do I need to overlap and secure the foil?
Yes, it is important to overlap the foil and tape the seams with special tape to create an airtight barrier. This prevents moisture from penetrating through the seams. The edges of the foil should overlap by approximately 20 cm and the tape should be pressed firmly to ensure good adhesion.
Do I need to use an underlay under the foil?
In most cases it is not necessary to use an underlay under the foil. It is important that the subfloor is flat, dry and clean.
Can I use floating installation for engineered wood flooring on a concrete subfloor?
Yes, you can use floating installation for engineered wooden floors on a concrete subfloor. However, it is important to ensure that the concrete is dry, level and free from moisture problems. The use of a moisture barrier film is essential to protect the wood against rising moisture from the concrete substrate.
