Laminate flooring has seen a significant rise in popularity across Bloomsbury—and for good reason. Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, laminate floors now closely replicate the natural look and texture of real wood while remaining budget-friendly. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who want the visual appeal of wood without the high cost.
Beyond aesthetics, laminate is highly practical. It offers excellent resistance to surface scratches, dents, and daily wear, making it especially suitable for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces. Additionally, it copes better with moisture and temperature fluctuations than traditional hardwood, providing lasting value and peace of mind.
While laminate is known for its easy installation, achieving a flawless finish still requires proper planning and expert handling. Our experienced fitters in Bloomsbury understand the nuances of each laminate type—whether it’s a click-lock system or tongue-and-groove design—and tailor the installation accordingly.
Preparation begins with ensuring the subfloor is dry, clean, and level. If imperfections remain after repair, a high-quality underlay is used to address unevenness and improve insulation. Foam or fibreboard underlays provide added comfort underfoot while enhancing thermal and acoustic performance.
For installations over existing timber floors, we ensure the boards are stable and free from movement. And just like natural materials, laminate boards need 48 hours to acclimatise to the room conditions in Bloomsbury before fitting. These early steps make all the difference in creating a solid, long-lasting floor.
Once the subfloor is properly prepared, the underlayment is installed, and the laminate boards have acclimatised to the room’s temperature and humidity, the actual installation can begin. One of the key aspects of this stage is leaving an expansion gap—a small space between the floorboards and walls throughout the perimeter of the room. This gap allows the laminate to expand and contract with changes in moisture and temperature without damage.
This expansion gap is invisible once covered by skirting boards and other decorative accessories, ensuring the aesthetics are maintained without compromise. Laminate can be laid in either a horizontal or vertical direction, depending on the room’s size and layout. Selecting the right direction can visually enhance the space, making rooms appear larger or longer.
Experienced flooring specialists ensure that the rows of underlay run perpendicular to the laminate boards and that all boards are tightly butted together to create a flawless, stable floor. While laminate installation is generally straightforward, entrusting the job to professionals in Bloomsbury guarantees expert handling, reduced errors, and a floor that will last for many years.
