Laminate is so easy to care for! Simply sweep or vacuum your laminate flooring every evening and wipe up any potential spills right away. After your flooring is hoovered and dust-free, you’ll need a cleaning solution if you want to ensure your laminate flooring is spotless. As laminate is wood-based flooring, it doesn't like water or moisture, so avoid using a wet mop or steam cleaner.
We’ve outlined multiple steps you can take to care for your flooring and what solutions you can use on your laminate via our Tapi Laminate Care Guide.
Laminate underlay is much thinner than carpet underlay, but it can make a huge difference to the performance of your flooring! Made from PE foam, our laminate underlay is specifically designed to increase airflow under your laminate flooring to reduce the build up of moisture and help to soften the acoustics for a more peaceful home. We also have another laminate underlay for underfloor heating with reflective backing to provide excellent insulation.
Yes, we do! Fitting laminate or any other type of flooring purchased from Tapi is an additional service we can arrange with independent fitters if you need us to. Laminate fitting costs from £15 per m2 - just let us know if you want fitting included in your quote. We can also arrange to uplift and remove your old flooring at the same time for an additional fee. If you decide you just want to order laminate from us and use your own fitter or install it yourself, that's absolutely fine.
Laminate has become one of the most popular flooring types due to its durability, ease of installation, and low maintenance, not to mention its eco-friendliness. Laminate was originally created as a cheaper alternative to natural wood, so it’s great for all budgets. Through its clever design and construction, laminate mimics the look and feel of real wood or stone. It can come in a variety of designs including vintage or aged wood.
Laminate is made up of multiple layers, including a design layer that’s a high-definition photograph of your chosen design on high quality paper. This delicate design layer is protected on both sides by a tough layer underneath, and a clear protective top layer above it, to keep the design from facing, scuffing, or tearing. You can find out more about how laminate is made and its different properties in our laminate buying guide.
Laying laminate is a process with multiple steps that must be executed well to achieve the best look – we take you through each step in our guide on how to lay laminate flooring, but we actually recommend you use professional independent fitters to lay your laminate flooring. Not only is it more efficient, but you can be assured your laminate will look great and last a long time.
