[Football] Help Any Carpet fitters Advice

Surport Local Team said:

We have a flat with a kitchen and lounge in same room. Wife wants laminate in the whole room. I think the flat below might complain, with kids as well could make a lot of noise?

If we go carpet and lino the divide is just under 4 meters, can u get bars that long to go between? Or would it be a few metal bars which would look sh1t?

Thanks for any advice

In some properties you are not allowed laminate or wood in a property above another, check your tenancy or freehold agreement.
Laminate is the worst type of flooring possible to buy, the majority of the product is reinforced cardboard, with a very thin wear layer surface. Water will find its way between any gap or joint, causing the product to swell and blister. It is also interlocking so if one plank is damaged, you have to break them all up, to get to the damaged plank,

The ideal product is Luxury vinyl tiles on a sound proofing membrane, however this can be quite expensive, and if your on a budget either vinyl (felt backed new products are so much better than in the past even having a texture and are more hard wearing - do not buy cushion backed vinyl) or carpet which obviously an underlay and should help with noise issues.

Personally I wouldn’t put laminate in a dog kennel.

If you need any advise pm me.

PS: The company I work for can’t fit before Christmas and any fitter worth his salt who has time (unless their a friend) before Christmas is probably either going to let you down, or not be very good, work is extremely busy throughout the sector.

Hope this helps
