When your new carpet is first laid, it is best to first brush off the thick fluff that remains from cutting, and then proceed to vacuum as normal.

Laminate flooring
- Is laminate flooring suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens?
No, laminate flooring should not be used in environments where it will get wet as the product will expand and overlap in time; instead, LVT is recommended.
- What are AC ratings, and which one do I need?
AC ratings of 4 or 5 are highly recommended, while anything below this is not recommended.
- Does laminate flooring scratch easily?
Yes, laminate flooring can be susceptible to scratches.
- Can laminate flooring be installed over existing flooring?
Yes, installation depends on what is currently on the floor; laying laminate on top of existing laminate isn't recommended, while concrete flooring needs to be screeded and wooden flooring requires plyboard.
- How should I clean my laminate floor correctly?
A light mop is recommended, and hoovering is also okay.
LVT (Luxury vinyl tile)
- What are the main advantages of LVT over other types of flooring?
The main advantages of LVT are that it is waterproof, highly durable, scratch-resistant, and offers hyper-realistic wood, stone, or metal prints.
- Is LVT flooring waterproof?
Yes, LVT flooring is waterproof.
- What is the difference between click-system LVT and glue-down LVT?
Glue down LVT is usually used more in commercial environments as it doesn't expand or move, while click systems require an expansion gap.
- Can LVT be used with underfloor heating systems?
Yes, LVT can be used with underfloor heating systems.
- How thick should the wear layer be on LVT?
High-traffic or commercial areas typically require 0.55mm to 0.7mm or thicker.
Vinyl flooring (sheet/cushion vinyl)
- What is the difference between standard sheet vinyl and LVT?
Standard sheet vinyl, which comes in cushion or felt back, is a temporary solution as the color will fade over time, whereas LVT comes with a 15-year warranty once laid.
- Is vinyl flooring a durable option?
A felt-back vinyl is durable, but LVT is considered a better option.
- Which rooms is sheet vinyl flooring most suitable for?
Sheet vinyl flooring is most suitable for bathrooms and kitchens due to its water resistance and ease of cleaning, but can be used anywhere.
- How thick is cushion vinyl flooring, and is thickness important?
Cushion vinyl flooring usually has a recommended depth ranging from 1.8 to 3.8mm.
- Will heavy appliances or furniture damage the vinyl surface?
Yes, heavy appliances or furniture can cause permanent indentations or tears in the vinyl surface, particularly if they are dragged rather than lifted.
Beds & mattresses
- What is the difference between pocket sprung and memory foam mattresses?
While memory foam moulds to your body, spring mattresses generally offer better airflow to keep you cool, as memory foam tends to trap heat and keep you warm.
