    Northville Subfloor Leveling

    Precision SLU Engineering for 8-Inch Wide-Plank Walnut

    Engineering a flawless, glass-like subfloor to meet strict NWFA flatness tolerances for custom wide-plank hardwood.

    Project Overview

    The Blueprint: Prep, Prime, Pour.

    The Challenge

    Preparing a bare plywood subfloor to receive a custom 8-inch wide engineered Walnut by Michigan Plank. Wide planks require absolutely zero deflection and perfect flatness to prevent failure.

    The Solution

    Application of a specialized blue bonding primer over the bare plywood to ensure permanent adhesion, followed by a premium Self-Leveling Underlayment (SLU) pour.

    The Technology

    Utilization of a specialized needle roller during the pour to break surface tension, release trapped air bubbles, and guarantee a perfectly smooth, glass-like cure.

    The Engineering Process

    Flawless Execution.
