laminate

Any advice? I've got a 32mm hole saw & arbor. I've read all sorts cutting in reverse to start with, to using the arbor hallway then switching to the other side, to clamping another board underneath. Hopefully somebody has solved this and could help.

There is damage to the edge strip on my camper van work top (photo below). I've looked up replacing the edge strip and seems do able but I'm not a great DIY er so if I could just put some 'filler' or something on it that would be preferred. What do you think? Thanks!

I’m currently re-doing the living room of a house we’ve recently moved in to. The room has laminate flooring and in the middle of the room a roughly 3.2m x 2.1m section of carpet (I assume to give the impression of a rug). The laminate runs through in the the hallway and in to another room...

I have a dent in my recently fitted laminate worktop. Proper gutted, no idea where from. Checked after fitting, so it's one of us, not the fitters... I'm worried it'll need replacing, but hopefully not. Pics below (complete with euro coin for scale that I found about the place): It's...

Hi all, we have laid laminate in multiple houses before and this is the first time we've run into such an issue. The planks have been stored indoors at room temperature for months before we actually started the project so there are no worries with acclimatisation. When attempting to connect two...

Hi everyone, I'm going to be laying laminate flooring in my new house. Will be removing the current carpet. The underfloor is fibreboard suspended on wooden beams (these wooden beams are suspended on metal beams). I picked laminate flooring and want to choose "Volden Aquastop 3mm" underlay since...

Hi all, we have recently moved into a property which has had extensive diy on it. The previous owner created an open plan living kitchen, dining room. There is quite a bit of evidence of poor workmanship. We have a small gap between floor boards where it seems flooring was started on one side...

Currently: 1980’s varnished pine skirting, light beech laminate and matching beech Scotia. Soon: White skirting. The Scotia is in good condition and can be reused as is or can be painted white. So from your experience... Which looks best, matching the Scotia to the floor or matching to the...

Some info: I've got 10mm laminate, going onto 5mm foam gold foil backed underlay with a chipboard subfloor. Questions: 1. Do you need to run the underlay up the wall a few inches instead of just flush to the wall edges, then cut it away at the end? Why is this? Seems a faff with the spacers...

My child just dropped a hard toy on the floor and left a nice big dent in it. Just wondering what the best way to repair this is. I've no spare floorboards left.

Hi All Would you suggest any other suppliers? I think I am after 7 and 8mm thick laminate boards. The ones I was thinking about: https://www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk/prestige-8mm-castle-oak-ac4-laminate...

Hey all, I and my partner recently moved into a new house and when we ripped up the carpets found asbestos floor tiles below, they are all in great condition so we just want to cover them up, I've gone around the first room we want to lay the laminate flooring in to make sure it's flat, which...

Hi, I have removed the sliding door between dining room and conservatory, but with the 20mm insulation and underfloor heating mats, there will be approx 30-35mm height difference between the two floors. I want to lay the same laminate through both rooms with as seamless a threshold as possible...

Hi all, first time poster. I am wondering if anybody has any solutions for this without replacing the upstand? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, We’ve just had a new kitchen installed, but aren’t sure the best route forward in terms of beading. This has been our first project so we have unfortunately learnt a lot of things too late. We ended up getting the flooring (laminate) put in after the kitchen was fitted, but the fitter has...

Laminate floor board springs up and down. I did not fit it and have no idea who did. Cannot realistically lift floor from edges to support underneath as out of time. I think either the board was butted wrong way round without tounge into groove, ie slotted in wrong way, or groove has collapsed...

Hi, thanks for viewing my post. I've laid down laminate flooring on a uneven subfloor. (sub floor, Underlay, laminate) its become spongy (all over) and we can hear the floorboard while walking on them. like a boom of air when stepped on. I know now that an uneven floor would do something like...

Hi all, We are trying to find a threshold door bar that goes from laminate to carpet. The problem I seem to be having is which strip to use. The laminate is 10mm thick and the underlay for the laminate is 5mm thick. The carpet I was planning on getting is 20mm thick. I have tried searching for...

I am working on my first DIY project to replace carpet with laminate flooring in a first-floor room in a victorian terrace house. I have removed the carpet and the underlay. 1) There are many nails and staples on the wooden subfloor, should I remove them all? 2) Is there anything I should do...

Hi, I moved in a a rented flat in a newly constructed building 2 weeks ago. There is a laminate flooring in the flat. In the utility room, there is an interrupter that reads "Extraction". This interrupted was set to off and the landlord didn't mention it when I moved in, I didn't even know it...
