  2. Laminate underlay – an easy solution for bouncy laminate It’s normal for laminate flooring to feel a little bouncy, especially when it’s first fitted. In fact, a small amount of deflection can actually be a good thing – enhancing underfoot comfort and helping to absorb the impact of your steps. But if your laminate is beginning to remind you of a bouncy castle… it could be a sign of an underlying issue. Why does my laminate flooring feel bouncy? Bouncy laminate flooring usually occurs due to a gap between the planks and subfloor. When you step on...
  3. Is laminate underlay worth the expense? Laying laminate on a limited budget?

Just put an afternoon aside and, before you know it, you can have that musty old loop pile ripped up and on its wa...
  5. Artificial grass underlay: the solution to your fake turf reservations We can all agree – fake turf no longer looks fake. Gone are the days of the bright green, plastic swatches commonly seen in fruit and veg shops. Now, artificial grass is created from advanced materials – which prevent the unnatural glare of synthetic fibres – and uses multiple shades of green to create an impressive realistic effect. In many cases, it’s a struggle to spot the difference. Yet, when it comes to making the switch from authentic to artificial, many people still have reservations....
  6. How long does carpet last? “Replace Every 7”. According to experts in the flooring world – a bit like a mattress – carpets should, ideally, be replaced every 7 years. But in the real world? It’s a little more complicated than that. Carpets can last anywhere between 5 and 15 years depending on a number of different factors, such as the type and quality of the carpet, the fibres it’s made from, how much foot traffic it endures and (perhaps most importantly), how well it’s been installed and maintained. But one thing’s fo...

  10. 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!
