The subfloor is an essential component of any flooring system. It provides a level and stable base for the finished floor materials, such as hardwood, tile, or carpet. Without a properly installed subfloor, your flooring can develop various problems, including sagging, squeaking, and unevenness. Making callbacks and repairs inevitable.
The subfloor also helps to distribute the weight of the occupants and furniture evenly across the floor joists. This prevents excessive stress on the joists and ensures the floor's structural integrity. Additionally, a solid subfloor acts as a barrier against moisture, preventing water damage and mold growth.
To avoid costly and timely callbacks and repairs, consider Beck’s SCRAIL® SubLoc® Pro. This system enables quick and uncomplicated installation of sub-floors and, thanks to the special thread of the SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners, guarantees resilient sub-floors without creaking and squeaking even after years.

Quality subfloor installation is crucial to the overall stability and appearance of your finished projects. What you may not know is that a lot goes into the flooring assembly to create a stable subfloor. Most flooring systems start with a well-designed joist structure, sometimes followed by installation, then the subfloor itself, and last of all, an underlayment if necessary.
In this article, we’re going to examine why it’s important to make sure the subfloor layer is done properly—and we’re also going to take a look at the SCRAIL® SubLoc® PRO System from BECK, which is the ideal system for installing a strong, stable subfloor.
