Your project in the canton of Glarus

The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.

  • In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
  • For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
  • If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.

Floor covering work in the canton of Glarus

In the canton of Glarus, the narrow, deep valley sets its own conditions: cold winters, long periods of shade and houses that are often old. Former spinning mills converted into homes or workshops around Glarus and Schwanden have large areas to cover, sometimes on uneven slabs. A glued-down flexible covering, after levelling, works well there. In the family homes of Näfels or Mollis, owners gradually replace old floors room by room. Towards Linthal and in the higher resorts, holiday homes and mountain huts need robust materials that are not sensitive to temperature swings between stays.

  • In a former Glarus spinning mill, plan a fibre-reinforced levelling compound over the whole surface, as period slabs often have cracks and differences in level.
  • In a shaded house on the valley floor, choose a light-coloured floor to brighten rooms that receive little daylight.

Frequently asked questions

What should I consider when choosing a new floor in Glarus?

Think about how the room is used, the traffic it gets and whether there is underfloor heating. Parquet, laminate, vinyl and tiles differ in feel, durability and maintenance. Ask the fitter to check the condition of the subfloor before recommending a covering.

Why does the subfloor matter when choosing a covering?

Unevenness, moisture and movement affect adhesion and the finish of the new floor. Different coverings require different preparation. Ask for a check of the existing base and of compatibility with underfloor heating, rather than selecting a material from appearance alone.

What should I compare in flooring installer quotes?

Compare removal, base preparation, the covering, skirting and door adjustments. Check transitions between rooms and any acoustic layer. Material supply without installation is a different scope from a fully prepared and fitted floor, so ask for the same breakdown in each proposal.

How should I prepare for the flooring installer visit or work?

Note the furniture and appliances that must be moved and which areas need to remain accessible. Keep specifications of any existing heating system. Agree storage, delivery and the conditions for walking on the new floor according to the selected product and installation method.
