Manchester Wood Floors
Advice

Manchester Wood Floors are happy to offer free advice to anyone regarding wooden flooring. Please see below for a few FAQ's or feel free to contact us via our 'contact us' page or freephone 0800 279 0230.


Q: Should I choose laminate or real wood flooring?

A: Laminate floors tend to be more durable as wood floors are softer. There is nothing like the look of a real wood floor and to date no laminates have managed to equal this look. Wood floors can be sanded down to replace a perfect finish however laminates can't. Wooden floors tend to be more expensive but you get what you pay for back in style and feel.


Q: What is the difference between a solid wood and engineered wood floor?

A: A solid wood floor is exactly what is says a solid peice of wood. Engineered wood consists of a top layer of solid wood that has been placed upon a softer wood board. Generally engineered wood is easier to lay and can be more suitable for concrete subfloors. Solid wood floors will be able to be re-sanded more often. At the moment there is not a big price variation between the two types of flooring.


Q: What should I clean my laminate/wood floor with?

A: Firstly the most important thing is not get too much water on the floor. Water will damage you flooring so if you are mopping your floor make sure you do it lightly and dry the floor on completion. Most DIY stores and supermarkets sell specially designed cleaners to use on laminate and wooden flooring. The best way to clean the floor is to lightly brush it or use a static cloth on a specially designed mop. You will find these in most DIY stores or supermarkets. We can supply cleaning product for use with all our floors.


Q: How can I avoid marking or damaging my floor?

A: Our best advice is to use flet pads or plastic cups on the bottom of all furniture. If you are moving furniture always lift it into place. Never clean the floor with a heavy detergent. Lastly mop up all spillages immediately.


Q: Can I repair a damaged floor?

A: If your floor has been marked or scratched it is quite easy to repair. You can find repair kits in most DIY stores and they are quite simple to use. Should your floor suffer from discolouration the affected area might need replacing. If your floor is water damaged it will definately need replacing. Should your floor not have enough expansion room we should be able to help fix it without needing to replace the floor.


Q: How long will it take to install my floor?

A: This depends on what kind of flooring you have a what room the flooring is to be installed in. To get a better idea please contact us with you requirements.


Q: Can you run the flooring through multiple rooms without a doorplate being needed?

A: Yes we can.


Q: How will you lay my real wood flooring?

A: This depends on your subfloor. If you already have floorboards you new floor will be screwed (secret nailed) into the existing floorboards. Should you have a concrete floor we will be bonding it directly to the floor using special adhesives or a self adhesive undelay. All laminate floors will be laid as a floating floor.
