Floor renovation in one day

Insulating floor renovation system with many advantages

Compofloor is renovating the floors of homes on Javastraat and surrounding areas. This involves a total of 67 homes that previously had uninsulated wooden subfloors.

"Traditionally, floors are renovated with concrete or steel beams that have considerable weight. In the process, such a renovation easily takes a week. From the need for a product that is lightweight, quick to install and has a high insulation value, Compofloor was born about eight years ago," says Commercial Director Earl Kemp.

The Compofloor renovation floor system consists of cassettes of composite (fiberglass-reinforced plastic), which are filled with a high-quality insulation material. Kemp: "This gives you a high-quality floor that is easy to lift with two people. This allows us to replace old floors in one day, so residents can get back into their homes quickly."

Great comfort and efficiency

Compofloor manufactures the floorboards in-house and is the sole supplier of the system. The insulation is incorporated directly under and into the floor, providing a lot of comfort and efficiency. "This is especially important now, because we have to get rid of the gas and want to reduce our energy consumption. The floor is often still an underestimated part of this. With warm feet you really are more inclined to turn down the heating."

Renovation not always standard

The floor elements can realize a span of 4.30 meters as standard. In addition, fitting pieces are produced. "In renovations, the surfaces and layouts of homes are not always standard. We already make the gross dimensions to size here in the workshop, so there is less work on the construction site and less waste. The floor is supported by a new construction of composite. Because we take out all the old wooden materials, nothing can rot and there is no chance of fungus or mold. On the floor system we attach a moisture-resistant OSB board. On that, the resident can lay their own floor."

Kemp is very pleased with the cooperation with contractor Hemubo and client Vestia. "This is a beautiful project. It shows well how quickly we can work with minimal inconvenience to greatly reduce energy demand."
