Seamless floor

Thanks to their attractive advantages, seamless coatings have long since established themselves in houses and apartments. A seamless floor not only shines aesthetically thanks to its versatile design options without visible transitions. They are also easier to clean. That’s why we’re certainly not just talking about a passing trend with trowel-finished or poured floors.

What seamless flooring systems are available? We have the right material for every application

The term “seamless floor” is a generic term that covers various coating systems with different thicknesses depending on the intended use and design requirements. Depending on whether the floor to be coated

  • is used privately or commercially,
  • is walked on barefoot or driven on by car,
  • classic charm or shine with bright colors,

the choice falls on one system or the other. The Qubo® brand portfolio includes the product series stone carpet, microcement and the epoxy resin floor in two versions.

Seamless floor made of marble or quartz gravel Robust gravel floor

The Qubo® stone carpet has been an established seamless floor made of stone pebbles and binder for decades. The coating is made from marble or quartz pebbles, which gives the floor different properties. Quartz gravel, for example, is considerably more robust than marble, which is why drive-on areas such as garages and driveways can be easily coated with this seamless flooring system.

In addition, quartz gravel is available in a much wider range of colors. In addition to undyed natural quartz, colored quartz is also available in hundreds of different colors. Gravel in pearlescent colors and with a metallic effect is also available. As colored quartz is available in finely graded grain sizes, laying with a smaller grain creates a visually more even impression. In addition to its stability, quartz gravel is characterized by its flexible application possibilities. A stone carpet can be used not only as a seamless floor, but also as a seamless wall– or stair coating. This makes the material ideal for new buildings and for renovating old surfaces.

The slightly grainy structure supports allergy sufferers in everyday life by preventing the formation of dust flakes. If the seamless flooring system is used in areas with moisture – i.e. in bathrooms and kitchens – a pore seal ensures the necessary impermeability.

Seamless floor in concrete design Cementitious leveled floor

Many people interested in seamless floors are familiar with Qubo® microcement due to its popular concrete look. A filler applied in several layers is pigmented in shades of gray, sanded and sealed, creating the typical impression of a concrete surface.

However, the coating possibilities are far from exhausted with this variant! By using a variety of color pigments, terracotta-like surfaces, designs in pastel shades and the most diverse futuristic combinations can be created. As a seamless floor is created by hand, you will always receive an absolutely unique piece.

Typical areas of application for this type of seamless flooring are living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, corridors and entrance areas. The material can also be laid on walls and stairs. This allows shower walls to be created and exhibition areas to be attractively designed, for example. The use of subtle colors visually highlights furniture and goods, while seamless floor and wall surfaces form an even surface.

The sealing protects the material from liquids, meaning that it can be laid in wet rooms without any problems.

Seamless floor with enormous design variety Cast floor made of epoxy resin

The third option for creating a seamless floor is with Qubo® epoxy resin. This liquid coating creates a layer of material just 2-3 millimeters thick on even subfloors, into which a variety of attractive designs can be incorporated. The selection starts with plain-colored surfaces and ranges from the classic marble look and playful metallic designs to incorporated photo prints with a 3D look. In addition, the surface can be further customized with an appropriate sealant, for example for a silky matt finish.

The waterproof, easy-care surface is ideal for rooms in which the floor occasionally comes into contact with moisture. In addition to bathrooms and kitchens, epoxy floors are popular in living spaces. A seamless floor can also be individually designed in offices and hallways with this product.

A special epoxy industrial coating is used in areas subject to heavy use – for example garages, workshops or industrial areas.

What does "jointless floor" mean? Expansion joints must always be adopted

Joints may also be necessary for seamless floors. What sounds confusing at first is easy to explain:

If the substructure of a floor surface consists of several areas poured separately from each other, expansion joints are created between these areas. This is the case, for example, with particularly large areas such as industrial halls, exhibitions and stores. A new foundation with an expansion joint to the existing building is also created for buildings with an extension such as a conservatory.

These transitions are called construction joints. They allow the substructure to react to temperature differences without cracking. If these expansion joints were now covered with a coating, cracks would most likely form here. To prevent this cracking, these expansion joints must always be covered.

In private homes, expansion joints are often located in inconspicuous places, for example at door junctions or in front of stairs. For this reason, rooms can normally be laid without any joints at all.

Pay attention not only to price, but also to quality How much does a seamless floor cost?

The costs are made up of the material and the installation work. It also depends on the size of the area and the desired technique.

In any case, it is important to have the coating installed by a specialist company. This will ensure that all the necessary steps from priming to sealing are carried out professionally. A seamless floor that has not been professionally installed or has been installed using inferior materials can quickly lead to unpleasant surprises. Blisters and cracks are then inevitable.

The quality of the materials also plays an important role in ensuring long-term enjoyment of the new coating. It pays to use suitable materials from a single system. This gives installers and customers the certainty that all components are compatible with each other.

What are the disadvantages of seamless coatings?

Problems arise with incorrectly installed waterproofing. With expert workmanship, there are generally no disadvantages to cast or leveled floors.

Do existing coatings have to be removed before installation?

Most coatings do not need to be removed. It is important that no loose components remain on the laying surface. Accordingly, loose tiles must be removed and any protruding adhesive residue must be sanded off. Depending on the system selected, any indentations, joints or cracks are filled before the actual installation.

The new coating is applied to the existing substrate in a thin layer.

What is the installation height?

Depending on the system and area of application, the installation height is between 2 and 10 millimeters.

Is it possible to lay on tiles?

In principle, laying directly onto tiles is possible. Depending on the system, various preparation steps are necessary. It is important that the tiles are firmly bonded to the substrate. Loose tiles must be removed.
