New flooring can revitalise the home with many options available. If you are considering laminate flooring, understanding more can help you make the right decision.
What is laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a synthetic flooring of multiple layers that are fused together.
Is it expensive?
The many types of laminate flooring provide options to suit all budgets. To find out the exact costs, contact a retailer with the type you are interested in. For example, learn more about 12mm laminate flooring at https://www.irwintiles.ie/wooden-flooring/laminate-flooring/laminate-12mm-water-resistant.
Can I lay the flooring myself
Installing laminate flooring is usually straightforward, as it can float on top of the underlay. If you are able to acclimatise your floor and cut the boards to size, it is suitable for DIY installation.
How much do I need?
The simplest way to calculate the amount is to measure the length and width of the room and multiply them together to calculate the area. In a more complex room, you may need to break it down into sections. It is worth adding 10% onto the amount to give yourself a bit of leeway.
How to clean laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is easy to maintain. A Hoover, a dust, or a mop will keep it in good condition. Avoid using excessive water, as laminate flooring is not 100% waterproof.
How to remove laminate flooring
Usually, you can remove existing laminate flooring by removing the skirting so you can see the edge of the laminate. You may need something to prise away the first piece, but the rest should follow easily.
