Choosing the ideal flooring is an important decision when undertaking a renovation or new construction project. While laminate flooring attracts attention due to its low cost, real wood flooring appeals with its authenticity and natural aesthetics. This noble material immediately brings a warm and elegant atmosphere to an interior.
Highly appreciated in Switzerland, wooden flooring fits perfectly in both contemporary homes and traditional houses. Its natural texture and timeless character make it a sustainable choice for enhancing a property.
However, purchasing and installing wooden flooring represents a budget that is best anticipated. In this guide, Avenir Renovations explains the factors that influence prices and helps you estimate the overall cost of your project in Switzerland.
Several factors can affect the price of wooden flooring. The first element concerns the type of wood selected. Most floors are made of solid wood, but each type of wood has a different price.
The thickness of the planks and the total area to be covered also influence the final amount of the project. The larger the room and the thicker the planks, the higher the budget.
Unlike laminate, solid wood flooring requires a more significant investment. However, it offers superior durability over time and a much more natural aesthetic finish.
It is also important to include labor costs and any necessary preparations of the substrate in the budget. To know the exact cost of a project in Switzerland, it is best to request a personalized estimate from a professional.
The installation of a wooden floor can be done using several methods. The planks can be installed on a concrete slab or on a structure made of joists or battens. In any case, preparing the substrate is an essential step to ensure the stability of the floor.
It is also common to install an insulating underlay to improve the acoustic and thermal insulation of the room.
After the floor is installed, sanding may be done to achieve a perfectly even surface. A finishing protection is then applied, usually in the form of varnish or specific oil for wood.
In Switzerland, the average cost for the installation of a wooden floor generally ranges between 38 CHF and 57 CHF per m², but this price can vary depending on the complexity of the project or the finishes chosen.
Taking into account the price of the material and the installation, the total cost of a wooden floor in Switzerland averages between 42 CHF and 124 CHF per m², installation included.
This type of flooring is a real asset for enhancing an interior. However, its installation requires precise know-how to ensure its solidity and durability.
Depending on the layout of the home, the floor can be made of solid wood, engineered wood, or installed on a specific load-bearing structure.
Moreover, certain European standards regulate the use of wood in constructions, particularly concerning the thickness of the planks and their load-bearing capacity. Therefore, hiring a professional helps secure each step of the project.
Wooden flooring consists of long boards equipped with a tongue and groove system that allows for a solid and durable assembly. The price mainly depends on the type of wood selected.
Among the most commonly used types of wood in Switzerland, we find:
Each type has its own characteristics in terms of resistance, appearance, and longevity. A specialist can guide you towards the solution that best fits your budget and the style of your interior.
