Once you have chosen your product the most important think is to ensure your floor is installed correctly. There will be fitting instructions on each box and you can also download information from our technical bottom on our home page. Please make sure to study these in detail.

Laminate can be fitted over underfloor heating. The key thing is to ensure the correct underlay is used and that moisture checks are done before installation begins.

Your floor levels need to be checked before fitting starts and any level issues need to be fixed. A moisture check should also be done in each room and the results recorded.

Nearly all laminate are installed as floating floor. A floating floor is where the floor is fitted over an underlay which removes the friction between the base floor and the laminate. Its important to leave expansion gap around the perimeter wall, radiators pipes, doorways and any other fixed items in the room.

The reason you leave expansion is that your floor will expand and contract as the environment in your house changes. We also carry a full range of profiles to cover expansion gaps were needed.

You might ask thew question can I link all my floor together and have no expansion gaps at doorways ?. The manufacturers always recommend providing an expansion gap at these point. We understand that visually it can look very well, but you need to be very careful with the installation as there are higher chances that you will have problems when the floor expands and contracts.

No fitted units, kitchen units or Islands should be fitted directly over your floating laminate floor as they will greatly reduce the floors ability to expand and contract.
