Are you considering installing a beautiful laminate floor in your home? Do you doubt whether you do this wisely in combination with the kitchen? No stress! In this blog we will go a little deeper into what you can pay attention to in order to still be able to put laminate in the kitchen. Very handy!
Cheap is expensive with laminate in kitchen
Laminate flooring are floors that are made up of several layers. Not every one of these layers is crazy about contact with water, and so laminate in the base is not always suitable for placement in the kitchen. After all, a glass of water can sometimes fall over in the kitchen. In this story, however, cheap is expensive in many cases. Especially the cheaper laminate floors, which are almost always of a lower quality, can cause problems when placed in the kitchen. So keep this in mind when purchasing your new kitchen laminate.
Pay attention to water resistance in the store
Whether you are going to buy a laminate floor in the store or online, it is almost always indicated whether it can withstand water well or not. Is there nothing indicated near the floor? Then it will come down to the fact that the floor is not water resistant. However, there are many laminate floors that are somewhat resistant to moisture. For example, you can think of the Floer Landhuis Laminate or the Floer Authentic Laminate. With such floors, it is no problem at all to lay laminate in the kitchen.
First the laminate floor or first the kitchen?
In addition to the laminate floor, does the kitchen also need to be installed? Then it is important to take into account the order of carrying out these jobs. Our advice is that with floating floors, and therefore also with laminate in the kitchen, first place the kitchen and lay the laminate floor around it or a small piece underneath. If the kitchen were to be placed on top of a floating floor, it would, in this case, have no room to move around to work and the consequences may be incalculable.
