The Importance of Professional Laminate Floor Fitting
Laminate flooring is one of the most popular choices for modern homes, offering the beautiful look of real wood with exceptional durability and practicality. At The Floor Store in Somercotes, we supply and fit high-quality Quick-Step laminate flooring, available in the Classic, Impressive, Capture, and Eligna collections. All ranges are fully waterproof and available in a wide choice of colours, finishes, and wood effects to suit every room and style of home.
When investing in a new laminate floor, the quality of the fitting is just as important as the quality of the product itself. A professional installation ensures your floor not only looks stunning but performs well for years to come.
Why Choose Professional Laminate Fitting
Although laminate flooring may seem straightforward to install, achieving a perfect result requires experience, precision, and the right tools. Professional fitters understand how to prepare the subfloor, plan the layout, and fit each board correctly so that the joins are tight and the surface remains smooth and even. A professionally fitted laminate floor will last longer, resist lifting, and maintain its neat appearance even in busy areas of the home.
At The Floor Store, our experienced fitters take care of every stage of the process. From checking moisture levels and acclimatising the boards before installation to ensuring all cuts and joins are seamless, they’ll fit your new floor with care and attention to detail.
Careful Preparation Before Fitting
The foundation of a great laminate floor lies in the preparation. Our fitters always make sure the subfloor is clean, level, and dry before installation begins. This helps prevent any movement, creaking, or unevenness later on. Accurate measuring and planning also ensure the boards are laid symmetrically, giving your finished floor a professional appearance.
Precision Cutting and Neat Finishing
Laminate flooring often needs to be cut to fit around doorways, skirting boards, and corners. Our fitters use specialist tools to achieve precise edges and ensure each board fits perfectly. They also leave the correct expansion gaps around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural movement, helping to prevent warping or separation over time.
The Right Tools and Techniques
Professional fitters use the correct underlay, profiles, and finishing trims to guarantee a secure, long-lasting fit. With Quick-Step’s Uniclic system, boards lock tightly together when installed correctly, creating a smooth and secure finish. Our team has the skill and knowledge to install each range to the manufacturer’s standards, ensuring a perfect result every time.
Choosing the Right Quick-Step Laminate
Whether you prefer the subtle charm of the Classic, the stylish modern finish of the Eligna, or the realistic wood textures found across the Impressive and Capture ranges, every Quick-Step laminate offers exceptional strength, waterproof protection, and a wide variety of designs. From rustic oak tones to sleek contemporary greys, there’s something to complement every interior.
