Laying Laminate? Make sure you have the right underlay!

By August 23, 2021No Comments

Laminate and wood look different to carpet. They feel different. They ARE different.

So, make sure that your flooring has the best possible support.

The right underlay for your wood or laminate flooring will extend the life of your floorcovering; more importantly, though, the right underlay will make sure that your floor looks, feels great, and sounds great throughout its lifetime.

If you use carpet underlay, you’re using a product designed to support a soft, fibre-based floorcovering. It has a lot of give in it; it’s soft and spongy, because that’s the way we want our carpet experience to be.

A spongy laminate experience is going to leave you feeling like you’ve had a few pints too many!

That aside, though, you’re also going to find that your boards move about and squeak a lot. And when the boards move, that’ll put stress on the joints between the flooring. And we all know what happens when there’s too much stress on something, right?

Things fall apart.

The good news? The flooring experts at Branagan Flooring Limited will give you the benefit of their years of experience of fitting all the floorcoverings you can think of (as well as some you probably can’t).

So, for all the information on the correct materials to use, whatever your flooring project, give us a call. It’s 5 minutes of your time, and ours.

Doing it right first time saves you time and money. Anything else just feels like hard work.
