 Laminate flooring is type of flooring made of a laminate material. It mimics the look of traditional woods while offering easy installation and lasting durability for a much cheaper cost. It can be difficult to find differences between wooden floor and laminate flooring. What appears to be a natural wood grain pattern is really a thin layer of decor paper (a photographic image) under a tough-as-nails protective film that is glued and pressed to a high-density backing board. Laminate flooring comes in an array of wood effects (the most popular option) as well as natural stone and ceramic.
Laminate floorings main advantages are that it is easy to install is very hardwearing and relatively inexpensive compared to real hardwood flooring. It's durable (about 20 times stronger than a kitchen countertop) and is water-resistant, offering use in bathrooms and kitchens in addition to high traffic areas. Unlike most hardwoods and parquet floors, laminates are quite dent-resistant. Laminate flooring is a floating floor, which means it does not fasten directly to the sub-floor. Instead the planks are clicked together. This enables the floor to be fitted fast and with no real mess. You can walk on your laminate floor straight away.

Well, about 2 hours ago, the Medway Towns in the south-east was hot by an almighty thunder strom and the rain to complement it.

We rushed outside with brooms and such like sweeping away the oncoming water laughing

Why do Flies hang around light fittings in the middle of the kitchen/room?
|
Hi, I always thought flies liked my mums house because she had lots of pets and wasnt the tidyist of ppl, these flies always seemed to buzz around in circle around the lights in the kitchen or in the backrooms. They never seemed to go anywhere else but around the lights in the middle of the room. Sometimes 5 or 6 at a time.
Ive since moved out

Would I lay pad or plywood underneath laminate flooring on Pier and Beam?
|
My dad is in a wheelchair and weighs 350lbs or so. They already have some sort of wood underneath their carpet, but my mother was told she could use a pad instead. Would my dad's wheelchair be too much weight and ruin the floors? Seems like the pad wouldn't support the heavy wheelchair and my dad without cracking or creasing the

Pump finding story-Re where is the pump in the system?

Robert Gen and Sean J who answered the question earlier-I took photo of the cistern (hot w tank) and of the reveal in the left hand cavity beside the chimney breast and there does appear to be capped pipework. Obviously I am not a plumber or heating eng. We have called for the guy to come back and lift the laminate again to check the far corners
