Laminate Flooring

From Birmingham, 6 posts

I have heard about Laminate flooring being esay to install yourself, but what happens when you get to the point where you need a smaller or curved piece? Are they easy to cut down? I would have to cut quite a few curves in it for my living room can this be achieved quite easily?

Thanks.

NEVER put laminate flooring in bathrooms or inside front door without a mat unless it is the special non slip stuff. I used to work in the Casualty Dept of a big Hospital and there were any amount of people who used to come in with injuries of varying degrees caused by slipping on wet laminate floors.

Im not a great fan of Laminated Flooring, If laid incorrectly it can look terrible.. and if the area you are covering up with this stuff becomes damp, the floor will actually rise into a bubble.. I have seen this myself, its not pretty..

None the less, its cheap, reasonably durable, and easy to fit, and a great laugh to watch small pets trying to get traction! lol And it seems to be all the rage at the moment.

Yeah it's cheap, and it look goods on the telly but i'm not a fan of laminate, I had a go at installing it myself but had to call in a lad who to be fair done a good job on the hand laying a carpet isn't the easiest either
