Q: What should I use to clean my laminate floor? A: The most important thing when cleaning is not get too much water on the floor. Water will damage your laminate so if you are mopping your floor make sure you do it lightly and dry the floor when finished. Most DIY stores and supermarkets sell specially designed cleaners to use on laminate flooring. The best way to clean the floor is to lightly brush it or use a static cloth on a specially designed mop. You will find these in most DIY stores or supermarkets. We can supply cleaning product for use with all our floors.
Q: How can I avoid marking or damaging my laminate floor? A: Use flet pads or plastic cups on the bottom of all furniture. If you are moving furniture always lift it into place. Never clean the floor with a heavy detergent. Lastly mop up all spillages immediately.
Q: How long does it take to install laminate flooring? A: This varies depending on what brand of laminate flooring you have and what room the flooring is to be installed in. To get a better idea please contact us with you requirements.
Q: Should I choose laminate or real wood flooring?
A: This is really a matter of personal opinon. Laminate floors tend to be more durable as wood floors are softer. Wood floors tend to look better when installed but laminates are getting better. Wood floors can be sanded down to replace a perfect finish however laminates can't. Finally the price can vary but generally laminate floors are cheaper.
Q: What makes a good laminate floor? A: There seems to be a general misconception that the thicker the laminate floor the better quality it is. Unfortunately you can have the thickest floor on the market but if the locking system is cheap the floor will still ruin. You should really look for floors that have the 'Uniclic' loc system. This is widely regarded as the best on the market. As a company we would always say that 'Quick-Step' floors are the best available.
Q: Can you install laminate in bathrooms and kitchens? A: Yes we can however especially in bathrooms you will need to make sure that the flooring is suitable to be installed in the room. Generally aqualoc flooring and some quick-step flooring is guaranteed for use in bathrooms.
Q: Will you cut under my arcitraves? A: Yes if you purchase one of our floors. If we are just installing a floor that you have purchased seperately it depends of the quality of the loc system. If we can then we will.
Q: Can you run the laminate flooring through multiple rooms without a doorplate being needed? A: Yes we can as long as the manufacters warranty allows this.
Q: What underlay do you use? A: This depends on your subfloor. Generally you will need a damp proof underlay to install on a concrete floor and a foam underlay or fibreboards on a wood floor. As with most flooring underlay can vary in price and quality so we can tailor this to your needs.
