Assessment of the existing flooring
Before starting any process of renovating floors, it is essential to assess the current condition of the floor. Irregularities, loose pieces or signs of damp can compromise any solution applied on top. In these cases, levelling or a self-levelling base may be required, with average costs between €10 and €25/m², ensuring a stable and durable surface.
Ignoring this step is one of the most common mistakes in renovation works and can significantly reduce the lifespan of the new flooring.
Solutions for renovating floors without works
There are now several effective options for renovating floors without demolition. Vinyl flooring is one of the most popular solutions, as it can be installed over the existing floor, provided it is stable. It is water-resistant, easy to install and offers a wide range of finishes, with prices between €15 and €40/m².
Another alternative is floating flooring, widely used in bedrooms and living rooms due to its thermal comfort and simple installation, with costs between €20 and €60/m².
For a more modern and continuous finish, microcement allows seamless surfaces with high resistance, although at a higher cost, between €60 and €120/m².
In more economical situations, painting the floor may be enough for a quick visual renovation, with costs between €10 and €25/m². For outdoor areas, modular decking is a practical solution for balconies and terraces.
Costs and renovation recommendations
The cost of renovating floors varies significantly depending on the chosen solution. In general, there are three levels: economical solutions between €15 and €40/m², mid-range solutions between €30 and €80/m², and premium options up to €120/m².
In an average 80 m² apartment, the investment may range from €1,200 to €6,000, depending on the material and application complexity.
To ensure a good result, it is important not to skip preparation stages and to choose suitable materials for each room. Small details, such as replacing skirting boards, also make a major difference in the final result.
Renovating floors without heavy works helps reduce time, costs and disruption, making home renovation more accessible and faster to complete.
