Newly laid floor flexes on 3 floors and in all rooms

[Peter Petterson]

Assuming it is plastic-coated foam. Joists and any noggings are securely screwed in and leveled.
Now guessing from my experience. Either the floor isn't level, or the underfloor heating pipes have popped up from their grooves when the parquet was laid.

Hello!

Yes, plastic-coated foam, joists checked with laser and 4M straightedge.

The floors are also bouncing in the middle of the room as if they have risen 🥲

My suggestion is that it might be some water pipes that have popped out of their position when the parquet was knocked together and are resting on the mold where the pipes are underneath. They are quite stiff so it's easy for them to pop out of their position.

 

[Peter Petterson]

My tip is that some water pipes have popped out of their position when the parquet was banged together and are going against the mold where the pipes lie underneath. They are quite stiff, so it's easy for them to pop out of their position.

Shouldn't the pipes pop back into place if you step down on the floor if they really have popped out, which I find hard to believe they have?

Not that I think this has anything to do with your problems but “is” it allowed to be as short as the picture shows?

Shouldn't the pipes pop back into place if you step on the floor if they have indeed popped up, which I find hard to believe?

It's not so certain that they will settle completely correctly in the grooves, like a locked position, especially not in the bends, the pipes also bounce back because they are so stiff.

 

[Peter Petterson]

It's not so certain that they sit quite right in the tracks, like in a locked position, especially not in the curves, the pipes also spring because the pipes are so stiff.

In the middle of the floors we have no turns, they are out by the walls. If the pipes had pushed up the floors, it would have been rigid during the fittings and not enough with 5 kilos of pressure to make the floor flex?

Do you possibly have flooring that is continuous between two different rooms through a doorway?

Do you possibly have flooring that connects two different rooms through a doorway?

Yes, some of the floors connect through doorways, others do not. The worst buckling is right around the doorways but it also occurs in rooms where the flooring is only in that specific floor!!

The report must be signed by an authorized floor installer.

Where can I find the qualification requirements for floor installers?

Where can I find the qualification requirements for floor layers?

No idea.

Exactly what I was thinking too. Felt way too short. Our floor should be at least 500mm

 

[Nissens]

Here are some pictures of card joints that have started to come apart.

Are you sure they have become like that afterward?
Looks a bit strange, especially considering you said the floor has dried for a long time...

 

[HEM2121]

Yes, some of the floors run continuously through door openings, others do not. The worst buckling is right around door openings, but it also exists in rooms where the floor only lies in that particular room!

What I've learned is that flooring should not run continuously through multiple rooms. The floor then cannot move properly. However, I don't believe this should become evident so quickly. Could there be level differences between the rooms, considering that's where it mostly occurs? I understand that you want to know and find out where the fault is, but shouldn't it be up to the craftsmen who installed the floor to investigate and correct it to make it right?

I think it looks like you have extremely small dimensions on your floor joists..?

Is this issue present on all floors?

Have you removed/moved walls on any of the floors?

We have glued/screwed new 120x45 on existing joists to level the floors. Should be more than enough. 90x45 is usually recommended!

No walls moved on any of the floors 🥲
