F.A.Q.

Most Asked Questions

With careful installation and the right products, it can be. We recommend using water-resistant laminate in kitchens and utility rooms, and we take extra precautions like sealing expansion gaps with silicone. For full bathrooms or areas with high splash risk, we typically suggest Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) for complete waterproof protection. During our consultation, we’ll assess your specific space and lifestyle to recommend the best option.

Laminate is a “floating floor” that naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity, common in Manchester homes. Expansion gaps (typically 8-12mm) around the perimeter are essential to prevent buckling, warping, and damage. They are not visible once installed, as they are neatly covered by skirting boards, door trims, or specialist beading that we fit as part of our service.

The Abrasion Criteria (AC) rating measures a laminate’s durability and suitability for different traffic levels. AC1-AC2 is for light residential use (bedrooms). AC3 is for general residential (living rooms). AC4 is for heavy residential/commercial (hallways, offices). AC5-AC6 are for intensive commercial use. We help you choose the correct rating to ensure your floor withstands the demands of your household or business.

Yes, in many cases. We can install laminate over existing, flat, and stable subfloors like vinyl, tile, or wood, saving time and cost on removal. Laminate is also compatible with most underfloor heating systems, provided the correct underlay and laminate product are used. We will always conduct a subfloor check and recommend a system specifically rated for underfloor heating to ensure safety and efficiency.

Both are excellent choices, with key differences. Laminate generally offers a more cost-effective solution with incredibly realistic visuals and excellent scratch resistance. LVT is 100% waterproof and has a softer, quieter underfoot feel. For busy family areas prone to spills, LVT might be preferable. For living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where value and aesthetics are priorities, laminate is often the perfect choice. We’ll guide you through the pros and cons during your consultation.
