The low down GIVE YOUR HOME A FAST AND FRESH MAKEOVER, STARTING FROM THE GROUND UP Words HOLLY BYRNE inter is the perfect time to take stock of the state of your home, especially as you're likely to be indoors a lot. If your floors are looking a little worse for wear, giving them a refresh might actually be easier than you imagine. UPDATE IT INTERIOR FLOORING Laminate Budget-friendly laminate is “a fuse of melamine resin as the bottom layer, a photographic imprint of timber in the middle and a clear protective layer on top,” says renovation expert Cherie Barber. ‘Click-together’ technology makes it relatively easy to install, and it can even sit on existing flooring. Premium options include acoustic underlay and water, scratch, stain and burn resistance. Most laminates are not suitable for bathrooms and laundries. FLOOR FINDING TIPS + Stay true to the style of the rest of your home. + “Ask yourself where the floor is being laid, how durable it needs to be, and if it will be flowing through multiple rooms," says Bunnings flooring buyer Kym Macdonald. + "Your old carpet may be higher than your new flooring, so it’s likely your old skirting boards will need to come off as well,” says Cherie. Vinyl Sheets can be tricky but, with aclean and level floor, vinyl tiles and planks are DIY friendly. “Vinyl tiles are like a sticker — you just rip the paper off the back then place them on your floor," says Cherie. Many products can be used in the bathroom and laundry, using self-levelling compound to lay them neatly over tiles. Vinyl is easy-clean but can scratch or tear and discolour in direct sunlight. @® bunnings | * n \elel fled ‘as ah bunningsnz| bunnings.co.nz 47
