What causes a bad ground floor?

Many Dutch homes still have a wooden ground floor. Rising damp from the crawl space, poor ventilation, or age can cause these beams to deteriorate. This can be noticeable as a musty smell, cold feet, and sometimes cracks or subsidence.

A simple repair or insulation is usually only temporary. The cause remains, due to moisture and outdated construction. By completely replacing the floor with a Compofloor renovation floor, you prevent permanent problems and opt for a safe and sustainable solution.

How does replacing a ground floor proceed?

At Compofloor, we use a smart prefabricated method. First, we completely remove the old wooden ground floor, including the beams. Then, we install the lightweight floor cassettes on the existing foundation using our proprietary anchor system. This distributes the forces evenly, protecting even vulnerable foundations.

All connections are carefully sealed to ensure they are airtight. This eliminates drafts from the crawl space and creates a healthy and comfortable indoor climate. Because we don't pour concrete, there are no drying times, allowing you to proceed directly with the finished floor.

How much does it cost to replace a ground floor?

What we do promise is a transparent quote with no hidden costs. Thanks to our prefabricated method, you'll also save on labor and additional work. This way, you know exactly what to expect upfront and have the assurance of a floor that will last for decades.

Why not a traditional concrete or wooden floor?

When people think of replacing a concrete floor, they immediately think of a concrete one. But concrete is heavy and places enormous pressure on the foundation, something older homes often can't handle. Wood floors, on the other hand, require regular maintenance and remain susceptible to moisture.

Compofloor combines the best of both worlds. Our system is lightweight, strong, and low-maintenance. Thanks to our anchor system, there are no point loads and the foundation remains protected. This gives you a floor that will last for years, worry-free.

Is a Compofloor suitable for my home?

Do you live in an older home with a sagging or damp wooden ground floor? Then Compofloor is likely the solution. Our system is specifically designed for renovations and fits seamlessly with existing buildings. Architects and contractors often choose Compofloor because it's structurally sound and easily integrates with other floor systems. It's also a smart choice for rental properties or real estate projects. Thanks to its quick installation, you benefit from minimal vacancy and a higher return.

What customers say about us

Peter

The entire process was quick and clear. Staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there was miscommunication when drawing up the quote, which meant that one of the shutters was not placed. However, someone quickly returned to place the shutter anyway.

Edward

The kitchen floor was replaced in one day. Great product. Well prepared, plumbing included and old kitchen neatly removed.

Gert

Okay, planning for 1-2 days doesn't quite match up because the house is a bit older. But the enthusiasm of the people, their input and knowledge of the matter is top notch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rising damp

Is the floor suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, Compofloor is fully compatible with underfloor heating. Its high insulation value ensures that heat is efficiently retained within the room.

Is Compofloor suitable for my home?

Compofloor is suitable for virtually all ground-level homes with a crawl space. During an inspection, we assess whether the floor can be installed without structural modifications.

Can I do anything myself about rising damp?

Temporary measures like fans or dehumidifiers can alleviate the symptoms, but they don't address the source of the problem. Only a new, moisture-free floor structure will permanently stop the moisture.

How do I know for sure that I have rising damp?

An inspection of the crawl space or floor structure can quickly provide clarity. If you have any doubts, you can request a free inspection, where we'll identify the moisture problem.
