Laminate flooring is a popular way to create the effect of timber floorboards using laminate tile flooring and click-together planks to cover the floor area without any gaps. Laminate wood flooring has several advantages, including ease of installation, thermal performance, and a wide variety of different colours and aesthetics to choose from.
Jewson's range of laminate floors includes IDS, Swiss Krono and Unilin Quick-Step, with a natural oak aesthetic or a coloured finish in black, white, brown, or grey. You can also choose from a number of different patterns, from laminate wood floors with a traditional floorboard effect, to laminate tile flooring with a chevron or parquet flooring appearance.
Laminate floors expand and contract slightly with changes in temperature, so it is important to leave the necessary expansion gap. This can be covered with scotia trims, or you may want to finish the edge of your laminate floors with traditional timber skirting, which helps to create an elegant transition between the floors and walls. Common mistakes can happen when installing laminate flooring. It’s wise to know what these are and how to fix common laminate flooring problems if they crop up.
