Can laminate flooring be put on floor with a slight slope?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.36 PM
We were hoping to be able to put laminate flooring going through the dining room and front room (basically one large room with folding doors in the middle) however there is a slight slope coming down from the kitchen into the dining room - again no door, its quite open plan! Would it be possible or should we just consider carpet as the only option. I can provide a photo if necessary, just trying to get some ideas before spending money on someone coming out to the property. Claire.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

if its only a slight slope it should be ok, u could always have it leveled off, but it should not matter, it all depends how bad it is.

Alternatively have Karndean vinyl flooring,similar price, harder wearing,waterproof no bouncy patches and you don't need a scotia fitted

Hi, It can as long as the floor is flat as possible, otherwise it tends to be springy. Depending on what underlay you use, some can flatten out gradual slopes quite nicely. If it's a noticeable slope as in you can see it, the floor would probably have to have levelled with latex first.
