  5. How to keep the floor warm in winter There’s nothing worse than standing on an ice-cold floor on a winters day. Hard flooring materials – such as wood, laminate and vinyl – are particularly notorious for being chilly underfoot. Even if you put the central heating on, they don’t retain the heat very well. And as a result, it’s your toes (and bank balance!) that pay the price. Don’t fancy the hefty heating bill? Fortunately, there are several affordable ways to ‘warm up’ your flooring – without cranking up the thermostat. The key ...

  10. Underlay – a hidden way to cut energy bills Looking for ways to improve your property’s energy efficiency? That’s you and the rest of the country. As gas and electric bills reach record heights, thousands of cost-cutting Brits are taking as many steps as they can – to insulate their home in time for the cold winter months (and hopefully save themselves a bit of money in the long run!).

  13. How long does underlay last? When it comes to installing a new floor, underlay causes a lot of confusion. How long is it supposed to last? Does it actually need replacing, or can you save yourself a bit of money and get away with using the same underlay twice? In theory, underlay is designed to last for up to 25 years or more. But it’s important to point out, this is the best-case scenario. In reality, many factors can affect its lifespan, such as the original quality and thickness of the product, the materials from whic...

And as a proud new owner, it may be worth taking up those cream carpets and investing in something a...
  16. Does laminate flooring make the room cold? Laminate flooring has a bad reputation for being cold. Despite all of its benefits – style, durability, easy maintenance etc. – many homeowners choose not to install it in their homes, due to concerns that it’ll make the room chilly. There’s no denying, laminate is a temperature-absorbent material, and it can sometimes feel a little cool underfoot. This is particularly true during the winter months, when cold air is more likely to seep through from the subfloor. But it certainly doesn’t have ...
