Settled Floor — No Demolition! Resin Lifting, Ratchaphruek

The large-format granito tiles on this home's driveway and entrance in Sarin Ratchaphruek had settled — the joints had split apart and the floor tilted downward where it met the house. The owner's first question was, “Do we have to tear it all out and re-lay it?” URETEK's answer: no demolition needed.

🪨 The Problem: A Settled Granito Floor with Split Joints

Uneven settlement left the large tiles at different heights, with open joints and a slope running back toward the house — a spot where water can pool and the surface is awkward to use.

🤔 The Choice: Rip Out & Re-Lay, or Lift with Resin?

Removing and re-laying tiles means breaking up the floor, hauling out debris, sourcing matching tiles, several days of work, and dust throughout the home. Resin injection lifting keeps every original tile in place — finishing faster and far cleaner.

💉 The URETEK Method: Laser-Controlled Polyurethane Resin

We set a laser level to measure the settlement, drilled holes just a few millimetres wide through the joints, and injected polyurethane resin beneath the slab. The resin expands to fill the voids and raises the floor back to level, controlled in real time until the target height is reached.

⏱️ Why It Wins: Fast, Clean, Usable Immediately

No tile removal, no jackhammering, no piles of debris and dust. The injection holes are barely visible after finishing, and the floor bears load as soon as the resin sets — the owner was parking on it again the same day.

✅ The Result: A Level Floor Again

The floor is even once more, the joints closed, and every original tile preserved — saving both time and money compared with tearing it out and starting over.
