If you’re taking on the laminate flooring installation task yourself, don’t forget that all laminate flooring needs foam underlayment. Underlayment prevents the floor from clicking on the subfloor as you walk across it and makes it feel a bit softer. It also makes the planks easier to install because it evens out small inconsistencies in the subfloor. Some underlayment has self-adhesive tape to join one row to the next. Others call for separate tape. Be careful to use whatever is required. Go ahead and buy the special laminate and wood flooring installation tool as well.
In most cases you can perform the laminate flooring installation yourself however our professional layers can install them for you within a short space of time. Laminate flooring can also be installed over many different surface types and flooring, another great flooring solution. For more information specific it’s best to speak to your flooring professional.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF LAMINATE FLOORING
Laminate flooring keeps it easy! As a hard floor, laminate floors are one of the easiest flooring types to maintain and to keep looking fresh and in great condition. We suggest regular sweeping or using a dry mop (that’s right, no vacuuming if you choose!) and cleaning with dry cloths and minimal liquid as water can stain or warp the laminate floor. Laminate flooring is a fabulous option for quick and easy maintenance, perfect for bustling families with busy lifestyles. If you have spills or traced dirt, use a spray bottle of water with a little neutral detergent and a sponge

WHAT IS LAMINATE FLOORING?
Laminate is a robust, resilient and hard-wearing, multi-layer synthetic flooring product, fused together with a lamination process. It simulates a wood or sometimes stone look with a realistic wood photo layer under a clear protective layer. The core is a High-Density fibre board, on a moisture resistant balancing layer. Because it’s a Digital print on a high-density core board, can be more flexible in providing different looks, and creating uniformity e.g. having the authentic timber look without the natural “wild colour variation” some species have.WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE LAMINATE FLOORING?
