AC ratings indicate a laminate’s durability and resistance to wear. AC3 is suitable for moderate residential use, AC4 is ideal for heavy residential or light commercial traffic, and AC5 offers maximum durability for busy households and commercial spaces. We help you select the perfect class for your specific room.
Absolutely. A high-quality acoustic underlay is essential for bridging minor subfloor imperfections, providing a moisture barrier, reducing impact noise (crucial for flats), and ensuring the click-lock joints do not snap under pressure. Skipping this step will void most manufacturer warranties.
For a standard to large living room (approx. 20-30 square metres), a professional installation—including subfloor preparation, underlay, cutting, and fitting trims—typically takes 1 to 2 days. We always provide a precise timeline after assessing the room’s layout and subfloor condition.
Laminate is a floating floor that naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. We calculate and maintain a precise 8-10mm expansion gap around the entire perimeter to prevent the boards from buckling or peaking. This gap is then neatly hidden by scotia beading or skirting boards.
We recommend regular dry sweeping or vacuuming with a hard-floor attachment. For mopping, use a well-wrung, damp microfiber mop with a pH-neutral laminate cleaner. Avoid soaking the floor with water or using steam mops, as excess moisture can seep into the joints and cause swelling.
