Laminate Floor Layers Stockton-on-Tees

The cost effectiveness of laminate flooring is without a doubt one of the key advantages of this material. So if the price tag is your main consideration, laminate will stand out above similar solutions such as engineered or solid wood flooring which is more costly. Engineered wood is usually four or five times the price and solid wood flooring around ten times the price of laminate.

Obviously there are costs associated with installing laminate flooring, but these are much the same or less than alternative flooring solutions in Stockton-on-Tees. Professional laminate floor layers will more than likely charge you about £10 per M² to install your flooring, while there are equivalent or higher fees for installing engineered wood, carpet, parquet, vinyl, linoleum, stone, tiles or solid wood.

Laminate flooring should not be laid directly onto a bare floor if you'd like to get the perfect, flat finish that you are seeking. It should always be installed on top of a suitable underlay which provides a better surface for the laminate to sit on. This will give your completed floor the right look, the right feel and the right efficiency regarding wear and tear.

When it comes to picking which kind of laminate flooring you prefer, you will be faced with a mind-boggling range of styles and brands. Laminate flooring is available in local Stockton-on-Tees DIY suppliers and may also be purchased on the internet from a number of flooring websites. Popular brands include Lamette, WFW, Series Woods, House Beautiful, Sherlock, Balterio, Egger, Aqualock, Quick Step, Tegola, Audacity and Krono, while you'll see own brands in DIY stores like B&Q, Wickes and Homebase. Specialist Stockton-on-Tees flooring companies may even have samples that you can have a look at.

Maintenance of Laminate Floors

There are a few measures that you can follow to make sure you keep your laminate flooring looking just like it did when it was put down. Ensure that all furniture has felt pads stuck on the feet and try to lift furniture rather than dragging it across your floors. Keep your flooring sparkling clean using a moistened mop with a little bit of vinegar added to the mop water. Don't use a soaking wet mop since the water may find its way into the joints and ruin your beautiful floor. When cleaning your floors, don't use harsh chemicals.

Laminate Flooring Underlay Stockton-on-Tees

When you are laying a bit of laminate flooring, you might think it's okay to lay it directly on top of the floorboards or tiled surface underneath (I've even seen it installed on top of carpet!), however the best end result will be accomplished by making use of laminate flooring underlay. Delivering support and stability for what is in fact a form of "floating" floor, an underlay also provides some much needed noise reduction, which is often a worry with laminate floors.

The underlay which is suitable for laminate flooring can be manufactured from an array of different materials including: foam, felt, cork and wood fibre. The exact kind that you need will be influenced by the floor surface you're laying the laminate flooring on. A wood fibre underlay is the preferred solution for example, if you're installing the laminate flooring over chipboard or floorboards. If your floor surface is made from concrete or screed you will have to use a combined waterproof DPM (damp proof membrane) and underlay, and you'll also need to use a vapour barrier sealing tape to go over all the joints.

Laminate Flooring Repair

Laminate flooring is popular for both residential and commercial spaces in Stockton-on-Tees because it is affordable and durable. Wear, tear and deterioration over the years can still happen to laminate flooring, like pretty much any flooring material. Laminate floor repair can tackle a number of problems and restore the appearance and functionality of the flooring without the need for extensive replacements.

Scratches are a problem that laminate flooring can encounter, and it is a common one. These can result from moving heavy furniture, heavy footfall or damage by pet claws. Laminate flooring experts employ processes to rectify scratches based on their severity. Specially formulated repair kits can often be used to treat less serious scratches, filling them in and blending them with the finish of the flooring. Damaged planks might need to be replaced for deeper scratches, and this should only be done by skilled technicians who can ensure a flawless integration with the existing flooring.

Laminate floors can encounter water damage, especially in areas with high humidity levels or following accidental spills. To address water damaged laminate flooring, one must first identify the damage's extent and then proceed with appropriate restorative measures. Individual replacement of planks is a possibility when the damage is confined to the surface. Conversely, should water penetrate the core of the flooring, more extensive repairs may become necessary, probably requiring the lifting and replacement of larger sections.
