Frequently Asked Questions

Sand or replace in a rental unit?▾

If thickness above the nails allows, sanding gives a durable result for less than an entry-level new product, and it stands up better to use.

How do I reduce noise to the unit below?▾

With a suitable acoustic underlay and a covering chosen accordingly. It is one of the most frequent sources of complaints in a building.

Is levelling needed before installation?▾

In an older building, often yes. A floating floor over a wavy surface creaks and wears early.

What product suits heavy rental use?▾

One that resists wear and can be repaired in sections. The cheapest option costs less up front and gets replaced twice as often.

How long does installation take?▾

A few days for a typical unit, longer if removing the old covering and levelling are added.

Flooring in Sherbrooke: what to know

With its large rental stock, Sherbrooke sees a lot of flooring work between tenants, on top of ordinary residential renovations.

In a rental unit

Original hardwood, common in older buildings, is sanded rather than replaced as long as thickness allows. It costs less than a new product and holds up better under rental use than low-end laminate.

Noise between floors

In a building, the covering and underlay influence the noise reaching the unit below. A suitable acoustic underlay settles many complaints.

Levelling

Floors in older buildings are not flat. Levelling, or choosing a product that tolerates irregularity, is decided before, not during.

Installation

Acclimatisation, expansion gaps, underlay: the details separate a floor that holds from one that creaks within a year.
