The Gillespie group excels in pouring underlayment and installing finished floors, but where do these layers fall on the flooring system? Floors generally consist of these four layers, in order:
- Joists – Foundation and frame of the flooring often made with wood
- Subfloor – Structured plywood layer beneath the underlayment
- Underlayment – Smooth, flat, durable layer that adds stability for the surface flooring
- Floor Covering – Topmost part of flooring often consisting of carpet, vinyl, tile, and other materials
