Property and renovations feature: Top tips before renovating your flooring

ADVERTORIAL

Thinking about giving your floors a facelift? Renovating your flooring is one of the most effective ways to transform your home, but there are a few key things to consider before you get started.  

The experts at Redcliffe’s The Flooring Shop share their tips ...

1. Know your lifestyle needs 
Do you have children, pets, or high-traffic areas? Different floors suit different lifestyles. Vinyl and hybrid floors are tough, low-maintenance options for busy households, while timber and engineered wood add warmth for a timeless appeal. 

2. Understand your subfloor 
Build a solid foundation for your floor to avoid issues long term. If you put a level over it and can fit a $2 coin under one side – you need levelling. This is one of the most over-looked yet vital parts of your installation.  

3. Set a realistic budget 
It’s not just about the cost of the planks - factor in underlay, trims, installation and any necessary floor preparation.  

4. High rise?  
If you live in a high-rise apartment, there are two things you need to consider: firstly, check with body corporate for its acoustic ratings – this may affect what product you can install; and secondly, if the height of the floor changes you may need to factor in fire door adjustment.
