We had floating laminate flooring installed 4 months ago and it has always crackled when we walk on it. Someone said give it a few months to settle but it has not made any difference. It was layed on a type of silver foil thin bubble wrap. They left a space all around near the skirting and then put a trim down. It is so noisy it drives us crazy. Can anyone tell me if it can- be fixed if we get the installers back?

That's just the movement in the joints,

better quality laminate should have been fitted especially if its floating,

The thickness and the locking method are factors which sould have been incorporated prior to laying on a floating surface.

if you didn't choose the type of laminate fitted,then complain.

If you did choose because of budget,then you get what you pay for,.
