Fitting Laminate flooring

Laminate flooring is a low maintenance, modern and affordable choice for homes, and comes in many different tones and wood effects to suit all kinds of styles, from traditional country cottage through to ultra chic city apartment.

Preparation
Laminate flooring needs to be fitted onto a solid, level base, ideally concrete, so before you start fitting the boards make sure you fill in any holes or cracks in the floor with mortar, or if the floor is in very bad condition you may need to skim over completely with a self levelling compound (screed). Always allow any repair work to dry completely (at least 24 hours), then cover with a damp proof membrane to protect the laminate boards from any moisture coming up through the concrete floor.
