1. How do you look after a laminate floor?
Just sweep or vacuum regularly and occasionally wipe down with a slightly damp cloth that has been well wrung out. Mop up any spilt water immediately! Because of its sealed surface, laminate flooring is extremely hygienic and allergy-friendly.
2. How can you assess the quality of a floor?
When buying a laminate floor, make sure it features the load classes according to EN 13329 and the CE mark. These floors have been subjected to numerous tests to ensure they are suitable for everyday use, and offer a high level of quality.
3. Are laminate floors quiet?
Modern laminate flooring has footstep sound insulation which is either integrated in the product or laid separately underneath the floor. This considerably reduces undesired noise caused by footfalls.
4. What kind of laminate flooring can I use where?
The load classes on the product packaging tell you what kind of use your floor is designed to stand up to. Classes 21 to 23 are designed for private homes, while classes 31 to 34 are suitable for commercially used buildings. The higher the number, the more use the floor can withstand.
