Resin floors can easily be applied over existing floors. In most cases, the existing floor must first be pre-treated before it is suitable as a substrate. To make the subfloor stable and level, Fermacell gypsum fiberboards are often installed before the resin floor is poured. In this article, we explain why a resin floor in combination with Fermacell is often chosen.
What is a resin floor on Fermacell?
Fermacell is both a brand name and a building material consisting of gypsum fiberboards. Fermacell is widely used as a subfloor when the existing floor is not level enough to apply a resin floor directly. For example, do you want to install a resin floor over a wooden floor? Then Fermacell gypsum fiberboards are installed first. These boards are strong, flat, and level, allowing the resin floor to be applied evenly. In addition to leveling the substrate, Fermacell also offers other advantages:
- Durability. Fermacell is made from natural materials, such as gypsum fiber and paper fiber. This makes the gypsum fiberboards 100% recyclable;
- Healthy indoor climate. Fermacell drains moisture in the underlying construction. This prevents moisture problems such as mold and bacteria and contributes to a healthy indoor climate;
- Sound insulation. Fermacell has a high sound-insulating effect and reduces sound transmission between floors. This is ideal in apartments and homes with young children;
- Fire-resistant. Fermacell limits flames and smoke development in the event of a fire. It therefore contributes to the fire safety of a building.
How does the application of a resin floor on Fermacell work?
When applying the resin floor over an existing floor, Fermacell gypsum fiberboards are first installed and screwed down in various places. Then, the joints are professionally sealed for a sleek result. The resin floor is applied on top of the Fermacell subfloor.
Applying a resin floor on Fermacell is a precise process. It is therefore advisable to hire an experienced resin floor specialist for the installation. At TREU interior specials, we have the knowledge and experience to achieve a sleek result.
