Magnetic floors are an innovative solution that is gaining more and more popularity on the market. It is an excellent proposition for people looking for floor coverings that are easy to install, repair and maintain.
Magnetic wood planks are made of reinforced wood that provides more durability than traditional ones. In addition, the magnetic boards can be arranged in various patterns and can be replaced even by DIY beginners. The magnetic floor consists of two layers: a magnetic base layer and a surface containing ferrite powder that attracts the magnet. Due to the lack of the need for glue, magnetic floors are considered low-emission and environmentally friendly.
Installation and replacement
Unlike other types of flooring, magnetic boards can be easily and quickly replaced with new ones without the need to involve professionals. This allows homeowners to replace damaged boards themselves, resulting in less work and less waste.
Characteristic
The installation of magnetic floors involves the use of ferrite powder to connect the two layers. The magnetic floor is almost waterproof, insulates sound and protects against cracks. Magnetic floors are characterized by low skill level and short installation time. Traditional floors can require days of installation, while a magnetic floor system can be installed in a matter of hours. Another advantage of magnetic floors is the possibility of their reuse. If the tile pattern no longer fits in one room, you can move it to another room and create a new arrangement.
Important: In the event of unexpected situations such as flooding, quick removal and reinstallation of magnetic floors can significantly reduce the extent of damage. Being able to quickly remove the floor, clean and dry the subfloor before reinstalling it can be extremely beneficial.
Possible inconveniences
Among the disadvantages of magnetic floors, one should mention their relatively new nature, which means that they are not yet widely available. For this reason, it is essential to research the market thoroughly to find the right retailer. Additionally, limited availability makes them more expensive than other types of flooring. However, these costs can be partially compensated for by self-installation or by having it installed by a professional, as in the future the replacement of damaged boards or a complete replacement of the surface can be done by the average do-it-yourselfer.
