Preparation

Floor Preparation Melbourne

A beautiful floor fails if the subfloor isn’t right. 8K Flooring Group includes proper preparation — levelling compounds, moisture assessment and remediation advice — so your vinyl or carpet performs for years.

Floor preparation, grinding, self-levelling, cove skirting and heat welding are listed in full. They are quoted as their own lines when the slab or the specification needs them.

Self-levelling on a slab. Designed stand-in until a crew photo is supplied.

Floor Preparation

Subfloor assessment on every quote
Levelling and smoothing compounds
Moisture testing where required
Removal of existing floor coverings (when scoped)
Prep specified for the product you choose

Grinding

Grinding is substrate work: we mechanically prepare a hard floor so the covering can be installed properly. It is its own line in the quote when the slab needs it. We do not publish equipment models or production rates.

Scoped after an on-site look, not from a photo
Quoted as its own line when required
Used so adhesives and vinyl or carpet can bond
Sits with floor preparation — listed, not collapsed into it

Self-Levelling

Self-levelling is a preparation step: compounds used to smooth and level a subfloor before vinyl or carpet goes down. Depth and product follow what we find on site. We do not publish a millimetre claim without a measure.

Used when the subfloor will not take a flat finish as it is
Quoted separately from the floor covering
Follows the product’s own requirements — we do not invent them
Listed beside grinding and the rest of prep, not hidden

Cove Skirting

Cove skirting forms the floor up the wall so the junction is continuous and easier to clean. It is common with sheet vinyl in hygiene spaces. We install it when the specification or the room calls for it — not as decoration on every job.

Usually detailed with sheet vinyl
A listed service, not a silent extra
Scoped to the rooms that need it
We do not invent cove heights

Heat Welding

Heat welding joins sheet vinyl seams so the surface is more continuous. We do it where the product system and the room call for a welded joint — not as a claim that every vinyl floor is welded. Weld rod colour follows the product; we do not invent a match.

For sheet vinyl seam joints
Used when the specification or the wet/hygiene brief asks for it
Listed on its own so it is not lost inside “sheet vinyl”
No invented chemical or temperature claims
