What Is A Floating Floor?
A floating floor refers to a style of flooring rather than the floor itself. Floating floors are made up of multiple levels of flooring. The core or backing gives strength and stability, while the top layer offers aesthetics, colour and finish. The structure is quite similar to an engineered wood floor but has additional advantages.
Floating floors can be applied with a wide range of materials, including:
- Luxury vinyl
- Engineered hardwood flooring
- Laminate flooring.
The Advantage Of Floating Floors
The most significant advantage of floating floors comes with their hassle-free installation. Interlocking slabs are connected to make a single mat of flooring that lies on the subfloor. The Uniclic® joint is an additional design component that is integrated into floating flooring.
Compared to the standard tongue and groove featured on most solid hardwood flooring, Uniclic® is an improved interlocking mechanism that ensures flooring fits together perfectly seamlessly, eliminating the need for messy adhesives, staples or nails.
Floating floors are installed easier and faster with minimal subfloor preparation required.
Additional Benefits
Floating flooring is popular among households and trade professionals for the following reasons:
- No need for subfloor preparation, which reduces installation time and costs.
- Unlike traditional hardwood flooring, it can be laid at, above, or below grade.
- Durable and easy to clean and maintain.
- Features built-in sound absorbing technology.
- Affordable and easy to install, making it a perfect DIY option.
- Flooring can be dismantled to move houses if necessary.
- Features Microban® anti-mould and mildew treatment.
- Offers compliance with environmental programmes such as CARB2, LEED, and FSC.
