Staybull Flooring® is the best choice for concrete subfloors. How can we claim that our brand of recycled hardwood flooring can be installed over concrete?
The answer lies in the way Staybull® is made and how it naturally resists the stress moisture can place on wood flooring. Most of the problems that arise with wood floors have to do with moisture, and this remains especially true when installing flooring over concrete. The problem with concrete subfloors is that they tend to retain moisture, and when they exist on or below grade, changing moisture levels can aggravate the problem even more.
Traditional solid hardwood flooring, already prone to warping, twisting, and cupping, will perform poorly when installed over concrete. In the past, this led people to settle for engineered wood flooring. However, while it is more dimensionally stable than solid planks, engineered flooring has such a thin wear layer that it cannot be refinished, so it does not have as long a lifespan. Unfortunately, many people find this out when they first attempt to refinish their engineered floor. Needless to say, they end up replacing it after a few hears. As you might expect, replacing any floor after such a short time will significantly lower their return on investment.
Staybull Flooring®, however, combines the best of both worlds. Because of its unique manufacturing process, it is more stable than solid flooring, and can be refinished more often than engineered flooring. The result is an eco-friendly flooring option that can be installed directly over an aged concrete subfloor. You do not even have to worry about spending time and money on a substrate when dealing with Staybull Flooring®.
