Laminate Flooring

Hiya,

Not looking forward to next week as the nice carpet goes and laminate appears, however the nice speakers get to stay

I gather from reading, that the sound I'm used to, goes right out the window :0

We intend to get a nice big thick rug I gather this may help restore some sound.

Book cases in the corners...?

Large blocks of granite/concrete under the speakers.....
Or 10pence pieces uner the spikes smidge of bluetak..

Any tips/pointers much appreciated.

Cheers

 

Wait until you hear it then tell us what you want to improve.

Maybe you would consider some dedicated acoustic panels? Have a look at my website for an example. You might also consider a digital room correction unit - it can't fix everything but it can help!

 

Good call Mr Tenson. I would however put something under the spikes so you don"t damage the floor

 

Whenever I see the words laminate flooring I visualise The Royle Family episode.

 

Tenson is spot on .....

wait and see......the sound in my listening room improved ...but I did get special accoustic underlay for the laminate...

don't be stingy with the glue ....as ten years down the line some of our joints have worked loose and its a the devils own job to re glue.

 

Cool
I'll wait and see, and re call assistance if needed, Cheers!

Not thought of it before, but I never like seeing laminate thats been down for a while, and the joints show easily as they collect dirt, gluing sounds possibly a messy long job but would sort the joints

I thought I would glue the kitchen ones to stop water ingress, but yes, glue the lounge ones too, stop the dirt collecting in the joints

 

they have to be the right sorts to glue .....those clip together ones would not appreciate a layer of glue

 

Ah these are 'no glue' clip together

I may glue a test peice, just to see
