The importance of a subfloor

A good one Subfloor Is highly recommended in most floor installations, and in some cases is even necessary because this protects the floor.

Floor heating and insulation

If you want to use your underfloor heating or floor cooling, it is necessary that both the floor and the subfloor are suitable for this. Not every subfloor can be used with underfloor heating. If the heat resistance/R value is too high, the heat from your underfloor heating cannot pass through the floor. It is therefore necessary that you make a choice that, in combination with your floor, is within the limits of your underfloor heating. You can request this from your floor heating supplier.

The R-value of a subfloor is also important for the insulating properties of a floor. Where a low R value ensures an easy heat transfer from the heat from your underfloor heating to your floor, a high R value does the opposite. With a high R-value, your underfloor heating will not work (well), but you can create good insulation. The heat transfer from the floor to the underlying spaces is reduced, which limits heat loss. So look carefully for yourself what is relevant to you.

Noise deadening effect

In apartments or other upstairs apartments, in most cases it is mandatory to comply with 10 dB noise reduction. Fortunately, some subfloors have a sound deadening effect. This allows you to meet this legal requirement with a suitable subfloor. Incidentally, this noise reduction can also be interesting if you simply want more comfort in your home. If you have children running through the house, it may be useful to take this into account.

Unevenness

A subfloor can provide a solution if you want to cover up small irregularities. This means you don't have to even out in many cases. Keep in mind that a rugged wooden surface can have too many large irregularities, so that in some cases you do not get out of leveling or sanding this surface. Of course, in addition to the type of substrate, the thickness of the subfloor also plays a major role in this. Thick plate material, for example, will absorb more bumps than a wafer-thin variant. It is important to take this into account, because otherwise you will continue to see unevenness through the floor. Bee Slice PVC Is leveled almost by default for this reason. In other floor types, this also influences the firmness of the location of the floor.
