Yes, installing laminate flooring in older Louth properties or coastal homes requires specific attention to moisture and subfloor conditions.
Older homes, particularly traditional redbrick terraces in areas like Dundalk or Drogheda, often have suspended timber floors that require adequate ventilation to prevent dampness. Coastal properties, such as those near Blackrock or Carlingford, may experience higher humidity or potential rising damp issues, necessitating a robust moisture barrier beneath the laminate.
