EPI floors in combination with wood
Is your old floor in need of replacement? Or are you thinking about installing a stylish, comfortable and durable floor in your home? Then you are making a wise choice if you go for a Corestone floor, Corestone Nature or Superbase cast floor in combination with wood. The best thing about this combination is the unique contrast that both floors form. But this flooring combination has even more advantages.
Why choose a combination of EPI floor and wood?
The main advantage of a combined EPI floor-wood floor, is its practicality. An EPI floor is low-maintenance and easy to keep clean. Therefore, many people choose, for example, to lay a Corestone floor or Superbase cast floor in the kitchen, which has good resistance to moisture and is easy to clean, and blend it into a wood floor in the living room. In this way, practicality and the intimate look of a wood floor in the living area are beautifully combined.
A second added value is that underfloor heating is possible. In the part of the EPI floor the heating can be laid under the floor, but fortunately nowadays it is also possible to lay underfloor heating under the wooden floor. So an ideal and comfortable combination!
Third, the combination between an EPI floor and wood floor is just very stylish. The floors match each other very well in terms of colors and design. The cast floor provides a modern and clean look while the wood floor brings a warm, authentic and cozy atmosphere to the home.
Lastly, laying an EPI floor with a wood floor offers many design possibilities. When choosing a light EPI floor and a wood floor with soft colors, it is very easy to visually create more space. Placing light-colored wooden furniture on top of the cast floor further enhances this effect. This combination becomes even more beautiful in a home that already has a lot of wood in it, such as a home with wooden beams and/or wood on the walls. Furthermore, adding wood baseboards to the floor can also create a sort of transition with the wood floor. Wood baseboards also add unity to the interior.
How will the height difference be resolved?
The combination between an EPI floor and wood floor requires a thoughtful approach. Most importantly, the subfloor must be raised. This is because EPI floors have an average thickness of 3 mm while the thickness of a wood floor can be as much as 20 mm. In addition to the difference in thickness, wooden floors can also start to work. The installer will take this into account when applying the floors.
