Q: What is
laminated flooring AC rating?
A: The Abrasion Class rating is a European standard measure that
rates abrasion resistance, impact resistance to staining and
cigarette burns, and thickness swelling along edges.
Q: How long before
you can walk on the new floor?
A: You can walk on your new floor and put your furniture back in
place as soon as the floor has been installed. So you can enjoy
your new floor right away!
Q: How do I find a reliable installer?
A: Check, check and check again. Ask for references and check on
them – better safe than sorry! Ask to see previous jobs, also
ask if they have the correct installation equipment and check on
it. Most stores have a list of recommended installers. However,
CTM is a cash-and-carry organisation and installation errors are
not covered under the product guarantee. Follow instructions
carefully.
Q: Are laminated
floors noisy in upstairs rooms?
A: Laminated floors can be installed with sound-reducing
underlay (SOUND BLOCK) which will reduce noise transmission.
Q: Do I need a
T-piece in my doorway when I am doing multiple areas like
bedrooms and passages?
A: A T-piece must be used in all doorways and archways,
separating areas from one another. T-pieces are available in a
variety of colours to suit and match the colour of your ELF
laminated floor.
Q: Can I use a
normal squeegee or mop to clean my laminated floors?
A: Only recommended mops as supplied by CTM or ELF are to be
used. Traditional mops used for tile cleaning store too much
water and continuous use will result in moisture damage.
Q: Will my
laminated floor stain if I spill a glass of red wine or cool
drink?
A: Laminated floors are guaranteed not to stain, fade or wear.
Simply wipe the liquid off the floor with a clean damp cloth as
soon as possible (within 15 minutes). Remove tough stains with
daily cleaner or stain remover.
Q: How do I make a
small room appear bigger?
A: A light coloured board will make the room appear larger,
whilst a darker coloured board could make a large cold room appear
warmer and more cosy. The parquet pattern boards could also make a small
room appear larger. Remember that light coloured boards do show dirt
quicker and easier, and are not recommended for installation and use in
high traffic areas.
Q: Why is laminated
flooring so popular?
A: The unique ability of laminated flooring to simulate the look
of natural wood, while delivering the added values of wear, stain and
fade resistance, along with lower costs for preparation, material and
installation, have made this product category the most rapidly growing
segment of the flooring industry. Many clients are choosing to install
laminated flooring in residential, office or retail areas for practical
and aesthetical reasons, often adding to the value of their property.
Q: Will there be
shade differences in different batches?
A: All ELF laminated floor boards are manufactured in Europe
according to strict EMEA regulations using the latest technology
available. Boards are individually checked by laser for any
defects and to ensure colour consistency.
