Deciding to redo the flooring, whether in a single room or as part of the renovation of the entire house<\/a>, is an important decision. It can be driven by aesthetic needs or practical necessities, such as improving insulation and installing underfloor heating. <\/p>\n\n

While there are less invasive solutions for aesthetic needs, which we will see later, more technical needs require demolition and reconstruction: let’s look at the flooring renovation costs.<\/p>\n\n

Demolishing flooring and screed<\/h2>\n\n

The first phase of flooring renovation involves the removal of the existing covering<\/strong>. Whether it’s tiles, marble, or parquet, the cost of the operation ranges from 10 to 20 euros per square meter, depending on the material’s thickness and debris disposal fees. <\/p>\n\n

Once the covering is removed, it’s time for the screed, the base on which the walkable covering is laid. It varies in thickness from 4 to 10 centimeters and serves to thermally and acoustically insulate the home while integrating pipes and systems.<\/p>\n\n

The screed must be perfectly leveled<\/strong> to ensure optimal laying. It’s essential to assess the condition of the support: although it is sometimes possible to reuse the existing screed, it often needs to be demolished and redone. The cost for demolition and disposal is around 15 euros per square meter, while reconstruction varies from 10 to 30 euros per square meter depending on the type chosen (traditional, self-leveling cement, or lightened with expanded clay or polystyrene). <\/p>\n\n

Flooring renovation costs: materials<\/h2>\n\n

Once the old flooring is removed and the screed is prepared, it’s time to lay the new covering: at this point, a wide range of choices opens up regarding the type of materials to use based on personal taste, needs, pros and cons, and budget. Let’s look at some possibilities. <\/p>\n\n

Wooden flooring<\/h3>\n\n

Highly favored for the warmth it brings to a room, its insulating properties, and the endless possibilities for pairing it with any type of furniture and style, parquet<\/strong> flooring<\/a> is an excellent solution for living rooms and bedrooms<\/strong>. It is available in dozens of different wood species\u2014light, dark, and bleached\u2014allowing for easy use in modern, classic, elegant, or rustic settings; however, it is sensitive to water and is the most delicate option. Wood flooring offers various technical solutions at different price points. <\/p>\n\n
