Before the works...
In this Rotherhithe Property we installed approx. 52 of oak laminate flooring. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, beading installation, and install QuickStep Capture Brushed Oak Natural Laminate Flooring with matching the floor scotia beading around perimeter.
How we made it happen...
One of the challenges we experienced during this project was to complete the floor works in stages, due to furniture, which could not be moved out.
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing carpets and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
During this project we fitted 52 sqm of laminate flooring - QuickStep Capture Brushed Oak Natural Laminate Flooring with floating installation over concrete subfloors onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .
Laminate flooring products are relatively thin and require a good subfloor level. Our laminate floor installation service will consider this from initial survey and during the installation itself.
When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project the client decided to go with matching the floor scotia beading around the perimeter.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Rotherhithe floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall the project was completed as originally planned and to the delight of the client.
