What type of flooring is best for kitchens and bathrooms?

For kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend waterproof options like luxury vinyl (LVT/LVP), porcelain tiles, or ceramic tiles. These materials withstand moisture, spills, and humidity while being easy to clean and maintain. Vinyl is particularly popular due to its comfort underfoot and realistic wood or stone appearance at a lower cost than tiles.

How long does flooring installation take?

Installation time varies by flooring type and room size. A typical bedroom (3x4m) with laminate or vinyl takes 1-2 days. Hardwood flooring requires 2-3 days plus finishing time. Tile installations take 2-4 days depending on complexity. We provide accurate timelines during your free consultation.

Is underlay necessary for laminate and vinyl flooring?

Yes, quality underlay is essential for laminate and most vinyl floors. It provides sound insulation, thermal insulation, helps level minor subfloor imperfections, and extends floor life by absorbing impact. We use premium underlay suited to your specific flooring choice and include it in our installation service. Some luxury vinyl has integrated underlay.

Can you install flooring over existing floors?

In many cases, yes. Laminate and vinyl can often be installed over existing vinyl, tiles, or wood floors if they're level and in good condition. However, we always assess the existing floor first. Sometimes removal is necessary to ensure proper installation and avoid height issues with doors and skirting boards.

How do I choose between solid wood and engineered wood flooring?

Solid wood is 100% natural hardwood throughout, ideal for traditional homes, and can be sanded multiple times over decades. Engineered wood has a real wood top layer (3-6mm) on plywood base, making it more stable for rooms with underfloor heating and moisture variations. Engineered wood is also typically more affordable and can be installed over concrete. We help you choose based on your budget, location, and preferences.

Do you provide flooring materials or should I purchase them separately?

We offer both options. We can supply all materials including flooring, underlay, adhesives, and trims from our trusted suppliers, ensuring compatibility and quality. Alternatively, if you've already purchased flooring, we're happy to install materials you've sourced yourself. Either way, we ensure professional installation with full guarantees on workmanship.
