What underlay should I use with laminate flooring?

Vinyl Flooring

Can vinyl flooring be installed on stairs?

Vinyl flooring is primarily designed for flat surfaces and isn’t recommended for stairs due to potential damage when bending around steps.

Do I need underlay for vinyl flooring?

Most vinyl flooring comes with built-in foam or felt backing, eliminating the need for additional underlay. Adding extra underlay can compromise the flooring’s integrity.

How should I prepare my subfloor for vinyl installation?

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any existing flooring, nails, and debris to provide a smooth surface for the vinyl.

Artificial Grass

Is artificial grass suitable for pets?

Yes, artificial grass is pet-friendly. It’s durable, easy to clean, and provides a safe play area for pets.

How do I maintain artificial grass?

Regularly remove debris, rinse with water to eliminate dust, and brush the fibers to keep them upright and looking fresh.

Can artificial grass be installed over concrete?

Absolutely. Artificial grass can be laid over concrete surfaces, provided they are clean and level. Proper drainage considerations should be made during installation.

Carpet Tiles

Are carpet tiles suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, carpet tiles are durable and ideal for areas with heavy footfall. They also allow for easy replacement of individual tiles if damaged or stained.

Can I install carpet tiles myself?

Carpet tiles are user-friendly and can be installed as a DIY project. Ensure the subfloor is clean and level before installation.

Rugs

Do you offer custom-sized rugs?

Unfortunately, we do not offer custom-sized rugs. All our rugs are available in standard sizes as listed on our website.

How do I clean my rug?

Regular vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning are recommended. For a deeper clean, we suggest professional rug cleaning services.

Underlay

Why is underlay important?

Underlay enhances comfort, provides insulation, and extends the life of your flooring by absorbing impact and reducing wear.

Which underlay is best for my flooring?

The choice of underlay depends on the flooring type and room usage. For carpets, thicker underlays offer more comfort, while laminate and vinyl require thinner underlays designed for stability and moisture resistance.
