How to lay laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is usually installed using a click-lock system, making it a popular DIY option. Start by ensuring the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Lay an underlay first to improve comfort and sound insulation, then begin fitting the planks by clicking them together row by row. Always leave an expansion gap around the edges to allow for natural movement, and finish with trims or mouldings for a neat edge.
How can I clean laminate floors?
Laminate floors are easy to maintain with regular care. Sweep or vacuum frequently to remove dust and debris, then use a lightly damp mop with a laminate-safe or pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid excess water, steam mops, and harsh chemicals, as moisture can damage the surface over time. Wipe up spills quickly to prevent swelling or staining.

Can you paint laminate flooring?
Yes, laminate flooring can be painted, but it requires careful preparation and is generally not a long-term or professional finish. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned, lightly sanded, and primed with a bonding primer before using a suitable floor paint. However, because laminate is designed with a sealed top layer, paint may not adhere well over time, especially in high-traffic areas. In most cases, replacing or overlaying the flooring is a more durable option.
