Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Welch Mill Carpets been in business?

Welch Mill Carpets has been serving customers for over 20 years, providing high-quality carpets and flooring solutions.

What types of products does Welch Mill Carpets offer?

Welch Mill Carpets offers a wide range of products, including carpets, rugs, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), and artificial grass.

Are the carpets and flooring products at Welch Mill Carpets of good quality?

Yes, Welch Mill Carpets prides itself on offering products of excellent quality. We source our carpets and flooring from reputable manufacturers known for their durability and craftsmanship.

What actually is Engineered Wood Flooring?

Engineered Wood Flooring is a form of wood flooring which has many layers of manufactured for optimisation. To be more specific, these will have between three and twelve layers to enhance the overall durability. Each will be glued together with the finishing touch being the real wood on top.

Although this flooring is almost identical to solid wood flooring, this is exactly the point. These are projected to last decades upon decades, hence why the price is higher. In fact, the only major difference is just how hard wearing it is.

Engineered Wood Flooring can withstanding a huge amount of traffic overtime as well as spill resistant. Over time if the finish begins to wear then you can quite easily replace it. This is through sanding and then refinishing.

Kitchen or Bathroom?

Engineered Wood Flooring is actually a great solution for both kitchens and bathrooms. Admittedly, they aren’t 100% waterproof but they are hardwearing enough to stand the test of time in both.

If there was the option to pick one above the other, then it’s probably best in the kitchen. Lacquered flooring will be able to deal with everyday spillages and any treaded excess. Not to mention lacquer gives the floor an additional seven layers of protection.

Despite the waterproof concern, Engineered Wood Flooring is very effective in bathrooms. This is because it can deal with the moisture and humidity a bathroom will provide. In fact, a daily sweep will certainly add to this.

Finish

At Welch Mill Carpets, customers have a variety of finishes to choose from when it comes to their flooring options. These finishes can be applied at any point during the floor’s lifespan and offer different benefits and aesthetics. Let’s take a closer look at the finishes available:
 

Unfinished:

The unfinished finish is the most authentic option available. It involves installing the wood without any added oils or wax coatings. While this preserves the natural beauty of the wood, it also means that the floor will require some form of protection after the initial fitting. This could involve applying oils, waxes, or other protective coatings to ensure the floor’s longevity and maintain its appearance.
 

Aged:

An aged finish is designed to make your floor appear older than it is. This finish can be achieved through various techniques, such as distressing the wood or applying special treatments to create an antique or weathered look. Aged finishes come in different periods, ranging from short-term wear to long-term wear options, allowing you to choose the level of ageing that best suits your preferences and design aesthetic.
 

Oiled:

Opting for an oiled finish can enhance the natural beauty of your wood floor. The oil seeps into the wood grain, providing protection and durability while preserving the wood’s natural characteristics. Unlike some other finishes, there is no surface layer with an oiled finish, so the wood maintains a more natural look and feel. However, this also means that an oiled floor may require more frequent maintenance and reapplication of the oil to keep it in optimal condition.
 
When selecting a finish for your wood floor at Welch Mill, it’s essential to consider your desired aesthetic, maintenance requirements, and the level of protection you want for your flooring. The knowledgeable staff at Welch Mill Carpets can provide further guidance and help you choose the finish that best suits your needs and preferences.

Thickness:

At Welch Mill, the choice of board and floor thickness is crucial for ensuring the flooring’s strength, durability, and longevity. Thicker boards and floors generally contribute to enhanced structural integrity, making them more resistant to wear and tear over time. However, several other factors must be considered, including sound reduction, acoustics, comfort, and underfoot advantages.
 
In terms of sound reduction and acoustics, thicker boards and floors can help absorb and dampen the sound, reducing noise transmission between floors and rooms. This is particularly important in residential and commercial settings where noise control is desired.
 
Advantages of Thicker Flooring
One notable advantage of thicker flooring is the underfoot comfort it provides. Walking barefoot on a thicker floor feels more comfortable than thinner flooring options. The additional thickness offers a softer and more pleasant feel underfoot, enhancing the overall walking experience.
 

Thermal Heating Flooring

Thermal underfloor heating is another significant benefit associated with thicker floors. By installing underfloor heating systems beneath the flooring, the thicker boards help to retain and distribute heat more effectively. Underfloor heating warms the floor during winter, creating a cosy and comfortable environment.

General Guidelines 

 A general guideline is to opt for a maximum board thickness of around 15mm to achieve the best results. This thickness strikes a balance between strength and practicality. Additionally, using a 4mm underfoot heating underlay can further enhance the benefits of the thermal underfloor heating system. The underlay acts as an insulator, preventing heat loss and ensuring the warmth generated by the heating system is effectively transferred to the floor surface.
 
In summary, while board and floor thickness contribute to increased strength and durability, other important considerations include sound reduction, acoustics, comfort, and underfoot advantages. Thicker flooring options offer improved sound insulation, a more comfortable walking experience, and enhanced thermal underfloor heating capabilities. By selecting the right combination of thickness and underlay, Welch Mill ensures that their flooring lasts longer and provides added benefits to the occupants.

Wear Layer:

Welch Mill Carpets understands the importance of durability and longevity regarding the wooden flooring. That’s why we offer a wide range of high-quality wood flooring options, each with a carefully selected wear layer that provides excellent protection and can be sanded multiple times.
 
The wear layer refers to the topmost layer of the wood flooring, which is the wood itself. It shields against daily wear and tear, protecting the underlying layers from damage. Thicker wear layers offer enhanced protection, making them more resilient and long-lasting. However, it’s important to note that thicker wear layers are generally more expensive, as you pay for that additional level of safeguarding.
 
One key advantage of wood flooring with a wear layer is that it can be sanded multiple times. The thickness of the wear layer determines the number of times it can be sanded and refinished. For example, if the wear layer is 3mm thick, you can expect to be able to sand and refinish the floor either once or twice. Sanding and refinishing the floor helps restore its original appearance, remove surface scratches, and extend its lifespan.
Why Choose Welch Mill Carpets
At Welch Mill, we strive to offer wood flooring options with wear layers that provide optimal protection and the ability for multiple refinishing cycles. Our knowledgeable team can assist you in selecting the right wood flooring with an appropriate wear layer thickness to suit your specific needs and budget.
 
Investing in wood flooring with a quality wear layer ensures your floor remains beautiful and resilient for years. With our extensive range of wood flooring options, you can find the perfect balance between durability, aesthetics, and affordability. Contact Welch Mill today to explore our collection and make an informed decision for your flooring needs.
 

Installation:

When it comes to installing carpets and flooring, Welch Mill Carpets offers a range of options to suit different preferences and requirements.

Click Lock Flooring

One of the most common and most accessible installation forms is Click Lock Flooring. This type of flooring does not require any glue, making it a popular choice among homeowners. It can be easily installed at home by yourself without needing professional assistance.
 
The installation process for Click Lock Flooring is relatively straightforward. The flooring planks are designed with interlocking mechanisms that allow them to be easily clicked into place. You fit one plank into another, creating a secure and seamless connection. This means that you can easily install the flooring independently without the hassle of applying glue or waiting for it to dry.
 
One of the significant advantages of Click Lock Flooring is its ease of replacement. If any damage occurs to the flooring down the line, you can easily replace the damaged planks without dismantling the entire floor. This makes maintenance and repairs much simpler and more cost-effective.

Tongue & Groove flooring

On the other hand, Welch Mill also offers Tongue & Groove flooring, a different installation method. Unlike Click Lock Flooring, Tongue & Groove requires the use of glue. This installation method provides a more thorough and secure connection between the planks, resulting in a highly durable and stable floor.
 
Installing Tongue & Groove flooring requires more attention and time than Click Lock Flooring. The process involves applying glue to the grooves of one plank and then inserting the tongue of another plank into the glued groove. This creates a strong bond between the planks, ensuring they remain firmly in place.
 
Due to the complexity of the Tongue & Groove installation process, it is recommended to have it carried out by professionals from Welch Mill. Their experienced installers have the knowledge and expertise to ensure the flooring is installed correctly and to a high standard.

Whether you choose Click Lock Flooring or Tongue & Groove, Welch Mill Carpets provides the necessary products and installation services to meet your flooring needs.
