The topic of subfloor preparation is a common one when you think about a new flooring project. My quick tip on this is to make sure that you follow the guidelines that are appropriate for the flooring you plan to install. Carpet (depending if it is glue down or stretch in) requires less prep than some other floors and floating floors may require less than a glue down vinyl or ceramic tile. All of those levels of subfloor preparation will vary based on the flooring that you are putting in and the current subfloor conditions.
I will discuss this in deeper detail in the future, but I just wanted to reiterate that this is a key aspect of a successful flooring project.
That’s my TIP O’ THE DAY.
