  6. Low VOC underlays for a healthier home Stand in your lounge and take a long, deep breath. Can you smell any fumes? Probably not – but that doesn’t mean they’re not there. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) first became a household concern back in 2014, when a specific type of laminate was linked to toxic levels of formaldehyde in the air. The incident made people aware that everyday items – particularly flooring – can emit toxic fumes, potentially having a negative impact on short- and long-term health. And as a result, the industr...
  7. Cheap underlay – going, going, gone About to rip up the old carpet in your new home? The chances are, there won’t be anything too interesting underneath. Most people just find dusty floorboards, layers of old lino, perhaps some old newspaper cuttings. But when two builders started renovating a house in Penarth, they struck gold.

The builders held onto the posters for almo...

  9. Engineered wood flooring vs laminate: Which should I choose? There’s no denying that engineered wood flooring can look fantastic. Made from cross-layered plywood, with a layer of hardwood on top, it’s stylish, contemporary, luxurious and a long-lasting investment for your home. But it also has a pretty big price tag! On average, for a mid- to high-quality product, you can expect to pay around £35-50 per square metre. Which means, even if you’re flooring a relatively small room, the cost can soon add up. If you’re working with a slightly more modest bud...
