How to lower the overall project cost?

The cheapest solution often becomes the most expensive one when problems surface after the work is finished.

With SPC floors, click vinyl, glue-down vinyl and parquet, the biggest unplanned costs most often come from additional levelling, substrate repair, dealing with moisture or having to lay the floor again.

Where do hidden costs come from?

  • 1 unprepared substrate
  • 2 additional levelling
  • 3 excessive moisture
  • 4 poorly planned logistics
  • 5 wrong choice of system
  • 6 repeating the work
Cracks in the substrate
Damage that is not repaired in time almost always creates additional costs during the project.
Primer
Using the right primer ensures that all the following layers bond correctly.
Substrate preparation — levelling
A flat, properly prepared substrate reduces material consumption and speeds up the work.
Reinforcing mesh over old tiles
In many cases, existing substrates can be renovated without the costly removal of all the layers.
CONCLUSION

The biggest saving doesn't come from buying a cheaper floor, but from avoiding later repairs.
