Suitability of flooring and finish for stair/hallway and rooms.
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.39 PM
Could you advise me please of Suitability of 4 way drop-click, 8mm laminate being laid on flight of stairs, to tie in with laminate being laid on hallway and top landing. Also, is beading or flush fitted the best choice for laminate flooring being laid in rooms of a 7 yr old detached house. I’m happy with the existing skirting and would not like to have to re-decorate the walls. Thank you.

Thanks for your question. When installing on stairs, its best to glue down the laminate. The thickness isn't an issue, but its worth getting a wide enough board to cover the riser and step. You also need to think about stair nosing.
I would not advice fitting laminate flush with skirting. You can opt to leave a gap which is covered with beading or to remove the skirting board, lay the floor and replace the skirting. I normally advice customers for the second option, and our fitting teams rarely need to redecorate.
Hope that helps.
