Bedroom Flooring in Welwyn Garden City

A bedroom floor is walked on barefoot, heard from below and rarely spilt on, so the decision is warmth, sound and budget rather than water resistance: laminate, engineered oak and rigid vinyl all serve it. In Welwyn Garden City 77% of homes are houses, most of them terraced houses (32%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Bedroom in Welwyn Garden City

Bedroom flooring in Welwyn Garden City: what the housing says

The Welwyn Hatfield district counts 46,209 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a bedroom floor is specified here.

Terraced houses are 32% of the homes in Welwyn Hatfield, and the bedrooms of a terrace in Welwyn Garden City are on a suspended timber floor above the living room. A floating laminate or an engineered board over an underlay with an impact-sound figure keeps footsteps out of the room below; the old boards are screwed down first so nothing creaks under the new floor.

Social renting is 25% of households in Welwyn Hatfield, and bedrooms in that stock are laminate across a programme, AC4 and E1, floated on an underlay with a stated impact-sound figure where the unit is above another. A tenant fitting a bedroom floor in that stock needs the landlord's written consent first; the click laminate lifts again at the end of the tenancy.

Local fact sheet

Welwyn Garden City's homes, by the numbers

Welwyn Hatfield in the 2021 census: 46,209 households, 76% houses, 23% flats.

“Check the damp-proof membrane rather than the level of the boards, and specify for a market where two in five homes are rented.”

Welwyn Garden City covers AL7 and AL8 with AL6 and AL9 alongside, taking in Handside, Haldens, Cunningham and across to Hatfield. It is part of Welwyn Hatfield, a Hertfordshire district. Two figures set this town apart: social renting is 25.4%, a quarter of all households and unusually high for the county, while ownership is 56.6%, among the lowest in the South East. The town was founded in 1920 as the second English garden city and built to a plan, which means the housing is consistent in a way few towns are — largely inter-war and post-war, largely on solid ground floors. Check the damp-proof membrane rather than the level of the boards, and specify for a market where two in five homes are rented.

The census behind this page counts Welwyn Hatfield, and the borough is two towns rather than one: Hatfield East and Hatfield Villages fall inside the same total as Handside and Sherrards. Take the proportions as the borough's, and take the house in front of you as its own.

A concrete ground floor does not move with the seasons; it takes the temperature of the earth beneath it and gives heat back slowly, which makes it the coldest surface in an inter-war AL8 house. What you choose is the insulating value of the build-up.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Welwyn Garden City

  • Underlay for the room below A bedroom floor is heard downstairs. The underlay is chosen on its impact-sound figure, tested under EN 16354.
  • Warmth underfoot An underlay adds it; a thin floor over a cold void loses it. Over underfloor heating, thin and rated for it.
  • Thresholds at the doors A floating floor through several rooms is broken at the doorways so each room moves on its own.
  • Screw down the old boards A new floor over a creaking one creaks. Fix the base first.
  • Consent and the underlay figure A tenancy agreement usually needs the landlord's consent for a hard floor, and in a flat an underlay with a tested impact-sound figure; keep the datasheet.

Questions

Bedroom flooring in Welwyn Garden City: questions, answered

Which floor suits a bedroom in Welwyn Garden City?

Laminate for most bedrooms, on an underlay chosen for warmth and sound; engineered oak for a main bedroom an owner wants in timber; rigid vinyl where an en-suite opens off it. The bedroom guide linked below goes through the underlay question in detail.

Will a hard floor in the bedroom be heard downstairs?

Without the right underlay, yes. The impact-sound improvement of an underlay is tested and stated as a figure; in a flat Approved Document E and the lease set what that figure has to reach. Choose on the datasheet, not the pack.

Is laminate warm enough for a bedroom?

On the right underlay over a heated or insulated floor, yes; over a cold void with a thin underlay, no floor is. Over underfloor heating the laminates in the range are listed as compatible and the underlay is chosen for it.

Can I order flooring samples to my Welwyn Garden City address?

We post samples, and to whichever address you name – for a landlord that is usually the office or home rather than the AL7 house with a tenant still in it. Order two or three shades and hold them against the skirting you intend to keep.

Do you deliver bedroom flooring to Welwyn Garden City?

Yes. We deliver across Welwyn Garden City and Hertfordshire from our UK warehouse, including the AL7 and AL8 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a bedroom sample before ordering in Welwyn Garden City?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Welwyn Garden City address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
