LVT Floor Preparation from Limerick, Munster

Our Flooring Preparation Services: The Key to Your Perfect Finish

At Ryan's Design Flooring from Limerick, Munster, we understand that preparation is the cornerstone of a successful flooring project.

With over three decades of experience in delivering top-notch flooring and carpet services to homeowners, we recognise that the key to achieving the ideal finish lies in meticulous preparation.

Before embarking on your flooring journey, it's crucial to ensure that your sub-floor is smooth and dry.

We offer a comprehensive selection of materials INCLUDING:

Plywood - The Ultimate Flooring Underlay

Plywood is a versatile panel material composed of thin layers of wood veneer glued together, each with grains pointing in different directions. This unique structure provides exceptional strength and reduces the risk of splitting or shrinking due to temperature fluctuations. Plywood's resilience makes it an ideal choice for flooring underlay, whether you're installing luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or real wood floors.

Hanson SP101 Plywood:

This high-quality flooring grade plywood boasts superior performance and durability, thanks to its specially formulated resin system. It offers excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, and impact, adhering to industry standards and certifications.

FG1 Plywood:

Our flooring grade plywood exceeds industry standards set by the BS 8203:2017 Flooring Grade Plywood Guidelines. It's crafted from Indonesian mixed hardwood Meranti/Mersawa, boasting moisture resistance and dimensional stability.

Screed - Achieving a Smooth Playing Field

Screed, a thin top layer of material laid over a concrete subfloor, plays a vital role in smoothing uneven floors. It comes in various thicknesses and can be tailored to meet specific project needs. We offer three main types of screeds:

  • Bonded Screed: Directly connected to the concrete subfloor with adhesive, suitable for thinner applications.
  • Unbonded Screed: Ideal for damp environments, typically 50mm thick.
  • Floating Screed: Laid over a substrate with insulation, reducing noise transfer between floors.

Surface Regularity - A Smooth Finish

Surface regularity is categorised into three levels:

  • SR1: Very good surface regularity with minimal deviation.
  • SR2: Good surface regularity with some deviation.
  • SR3: Poor surface regularity with significant deviation.

These classifications ensure your floor surface meets quality standards, with SR1 representing the highest level of smoothness.

Smoothing Compounds - The Final Touch

Our smoothing compounds are essential for preparing substrates before the final floor covering. These materials can be applied at various thicknesses, catering to different surfaces, including wood, concrete, and metal. Our offerings include:

  • Fibre Reinforced Screed: Providing high strength and resistance to cracking and shrinkage.
  • Latex Screed: Ideal for smoothing out small imperfections.
  • Anhydrite Screed: Boasting higher strength, lower shrinkage, and moisture resistance.

Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) - Protection Against Moisture

A Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) acts as a protective barrier between your flooring and the underlying substrate. It prevents moisture from damaging your floor, extending its lifespan. Epoxy DPMs are the preferred choice due to their ease of application and robust moisture resistance.
