Introduction to Carpet and Flooring Tools
Whether you are a professional floor fitter or a DIYer looking lay your own floor – you are going to need the correct flooring tools to do the job properly. At Flooring Hut, we are proud to offer a range of the most useful tools from selected brands to ensure you possess quality tooling for your next project.
Personal Equipment
Let’s start with you: the floor fitter or DIY enthusiast.
You will want some PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like safety shoes, ear defenders, eye protection, dust masks and gloves.
You may also want some specialist clothing, like action trousers or hi vis jackets if you are working on a site.
Floor Preparation
Unless you are lucky enough to uncover a perfectly level and appropriate subfloor for your chosen floorcovering, then you will probably need some floor preparation equipment to get your project off to a perfect start. From staples and staple guns, to trowels and spreaders, and everything else you would ever require for preparing a floor.
You will also need a floor scraper and replacement blades to ensure a debris free floor. You may also need a floor stripper to help ensure a perfect floor.
Flooring Tools for Cutting
To cut different types of flooring by hand, you may require a trimming knife, a shear, or a hacksaw. It is always handy to have some spare blades for your trimming knife at hand.
If you are installing carpet, you will need a specialist carpet cutter tool. You will also need a carpet tucking tool, so we put them both on the same page for you. There are specialised tools that make cutting luxury vinyl tiles a breeze. There are also specially designed tools that make vinyl and carpet tile cutting easy-peasy.
Guess what? There are even specialised cutters for laminate flooring too! Can we make it any easier for you?
Measuring Tools
From chalk to scribes to laser measurement tools to the good old-fashioned tape measure – you will find everything that you need to take a good measurement on Flooring Hut. To ensure a perfectly straight floor, you will need a reliable straight edge.
Fixing Products
You can never have too many nails, tacks, and screws, right? You’ll need a hammer to tap in those nails. Whilst you’re there, you should pick up some knee pads. Bad knees must be the number one complaint amongst professional floor installers.
