When you install wooden floorboards in a new-build house, this can often be done without any problems: the house dries during construction.

Wooden floors and new construction

Our years of experience have taught us that we hardly encounter “too wet” new-build houses anymore.

To put an end to all uncertainty, we will carry out a preliminary inspection approximately 3 to 4 weeks in advance, during which we will, among other things, check the quality of the subfloor check, the surface, the relative humidity, the moisture percentage of the subfloor and discuss all details in advance.

Misunderstandings about moisture

We would like to debunk the persistent misunderstanding that many problems arise with regard to construction moisture and the installation of wooden floors in new-build houses and/or apartments. Choosing a wooden floor in your new-build home is fine, provided you make the right preparations during the construction process.

What is crucial?

It is important that the subfloor does not contain too much moisture when the floor is installed. If this is the case, it is advisable to postpone installation and finishing until the residual moisture from the new finishing floor has disappeared.

This process can possibly be accelerated by installing building dryers. In addition, it is important that all work, such as installing the kitchen, painting, tiling and plastering are completed before the floor is installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are wooden floors suitable for new-build homes?

Yes, wooden floors are very suitable for new-build homes. They add a warm and natural look to the interior and have a long lifespan. In addition, wooden floors can be adapted to different styles and can be combined with underfloor heating systems and cooling. It is a misunderstanding to think that a new fold would contain too much construction moisture. After all, most moisture evaporates during the construction process and not only during the key transfer.

How do I maintain a wooden floor in a new-build home?

Maintaining a wooden floor in a new-build home is relatively simple. Regular vacuuming and mopping helps to remove dirt and sand. In addition, it is advisable to clean the floor periodically with a special wooden floor cleaner. Using felt pads under furniture and avoiding sharp objects can also help preserve the floor.

Can a wooden floor be installed in a new-build home with underfloor heating ?

Yes, wooden floors can be perfectly combined with underfloor heating systems in new-build homes. However, it is important to ensure that the floor and underfloor heating are installed correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Choosing a suitable wood specie and consulting a flooring specialist can help achieve optimal performance and durability. In preparation, you carry out a so-called firing protocol once, to heat the screed within a certain moisture value so that it has shrunk before you place the wooden floor or, for example, tiles.

Is a wooden floor in a new-build home environmentally friendly?

Wooden floors generally have a good environmental performance, especially if the wood comes from sustainably managed forests. We pay attention to the sustainability of wooden floors and use wood that comes from responsible sources.

In addition, wooden floors are also recyclable and have a long lifespan, making them a very environmentally friendly choice for new-build homes. This is in contrast to other, commonly used floors, which are often oil-based and whose production requires a lot of energy, which is often generated with coal-fired power stations.

What about sound insulation on a wooden floor in a new-build home?

Wooden floors can provide good sound insulation in a new construction home, especially when installed with the right underlayment and other sound-deadening materials. For example, using a sound-absorbing underlay and placing felt pads under furniture can help reduce noise. An experienced parquet installer can advise on the best sound-insulating solutions for your specific situation.
