Avoid these flooring mistakes

Russell Chowdhury July 16, 2019 Reviews Leave a Comment

Getting new flooring installed can really enhance the appearance of a room, but if you don’t follow the right procedures or you make mistakes along the way, your new flooring might not live up to your expectations. Worse still, it might need completely re-doing. Here are some common flooring mistakes that you should, therefore, be aware of, and avoid at all costs.

Getting the Job Done Cheaply

Using inferior materials and plumping for the lowest installation quote may prove a costly mistake. You’ll want your floor to last and look great, so avoid getting it done on the cheap. Hiring an experienced flooring installer rather than a handyman is vital. According to Homify this is especially important to ensure you get the flooring under cabinets right, such as in kitchens. There needs to be an expansions gap to enable the floor to expand in warmer weather.

Making a DIY Attempt

With online DIY videos so readily available, you could easily be tempted to have a go at fitting flooring yourself. After all, think of the money you could save! Unless you possess the right skills, however, this could prove a false economy, and you may end up spending more to call in a pro to fix your mistakes.

Being Impatient

Installing new flooring takes time. The installation work alone can take up to five days, and then you need to allow another few days before you walk on it or add furniture to it. How long you have to wait will depend on the flooring material.  If you don’t wait long enough you will risk ruining the new flooring and you may have to start again.  If you have to throw out all of the new flooring and the old out then you’re definitely going to need the services of a Llanelli skip hire company and one option is http://pendragonskiphire.co.uk/llanelli-skip-hire/.  They can help by taking away all the rubbish for you in a handy sized skip.

Being Swayed by Trends

Unless you’re happy to have your floor replaced every time a new trend emerges, it’s wise to stick to traditional designs, styles and patterns that stand the test of time. To play it safe while still making a stylish statement, you can’t go too far wrong with wood-effect laminate flooring.

Not Considering the Walls

When choosing flooring, don’t make your decision in isolation. Think about the colours and style of the walls, and make sure the flooring colour blends in well. If you have an open space, you might wish to create a continuous feel from one part of the room to the next, with the same type of flooring. Walls and floors don’t necessarily have to match, but they should work in harmony with each other.
