Laminate in the attic? Turn it into a palace!

Do you have an attic full of boxes and old clothes? What a waste of potential! With a little effort, you can transform that space into the best room in the house: a home office, a hobby room, or an extra bedroom. But first, you need to cover up that unfinished OSB board or dusty concrete floor.

At Floor Depot in Zulte, we recommend: “Choose the convenience of laminate.” Laminate for the attic from top brands like Egger, Swiss Krono, and Classen is the perfect flooring solution for attics. Why? Because it is light, easy to carry upstairs, and extremely affordable.

Why is laminate the king of the attic?

Hauling tiles up a narrow staircase is exhausting, and getting a large roll of carpet upstairs is often impossible. Laminate comes in handy packs that you can easily carry up the stairs one by one.

Furthermore:

• Lightweight: It puts minimal stress on your wooden support structure, unlike heavy stone or tiles.
• Quiet for downstairs: With the right underlay, impact noise is significantly reduced. No more thumping sounds on the ceiling of the living room.
• Easy to install: Sloped roofs, beams, or awkward corners? Laminate is easy to cut with a jigsaw to fit perfectly around any obstacle.

Tips for the perfect attic floor

Attics require specific attention. Keep this in mind:

• Sound dampening: Please invest in a good underlay. Not just for warmth, but mainly so people downstairs are not disturbed by footsteps above.
• Light colors: Attics can be dark due to small skylights. Light oak or white laminate reflects light and opens up the space.

Still unsure?

• Check out our PVC flooring: Even quieter. If kids play upstairs, you will hear next to nothing downstairs.
• Or choose parquet: If you want to turn your attic into a true luxury suite.
