The combination of gravel and synthetic resin makes a gravel floor extremely durable. At the same time, this makes the floor very difficult to remove. Are you ready for a new look in your home after a few years? Then you might wonder if it is possible to apply a resin floor over your existing gravel floor. In most cases, the answer is yes. Applying a resin floor over a gravel floor does require proper preparation of the surface. In this article, we explain exactly how this works.
The benefits of a resin floor over a gravel floor
A gravel floor is difficult to remove. Fortunately, no large machines are needed to break the gravel floor out of your home: a resin floor can easily be applied over existing floors, such as wood, tiles, and gravel. A resin floor is only a few millimeters thick, which means current doors usually do not need to be shortened. That saves a lot of time and dust in the house.
Is there underfloor heating under your existing gravel floor? Then we have good news: it can simply stay in place. The advantage of this is that the heating efficiency is much higher after applying the resin floor. This way, you save on your energy costs immediately!
Preparing the surface
Before you can apply a resin floor over your gravel floor, the gravel floor must be properly prepared. Using a leveling compound, any irregularities and cracks in the subfloor are filled to create a flat surface. This is an important step because the resin floor levels itself over the gravel floor. After preparing the surface, the resin floor can be poured.
Preparing the surface and applying a resin floor over an existing gravel floor is specialist work. Therefore, always have such work carried out by a resin floor specialist.
