Flooring Installation-how To Install Laminate Floors

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Flooring is one of the most important aspects of any house. Flooring installation is an expensive process and many homeowners have found that if they simply do the work themselves, they can save quite a bit of money. However, flooring installation is something that needs to be done right in order for the floor to hold up well and adhere to any warranties attached to it.

If you have chosen to install laminate flooring, make sure you stack the flooring planks before you install them. Temperature and even humidity can affect the plants. Let the flooring sit in the room in which it is going to be installed for 48 hours before you begin the installing process. This will allow the flooring to adjust to the specific temperature and conditions within the room. Stack the flooring flat on the floor and take off the plastic wrapping to allow air to enter the boxes and circulate around the floor planks.

As the flooring acclimates to the room, make sure you have purchased at least 10 percent more flooring than you have calculated you actually need. You will want more because mistakes will likely happen and you may waste some of the planks when you have to make cuts.

During the 48 hours the flooring sits in the room, you can clean the subfloor and make sure there is no dirt and debris clinging to it. If there is base molding in the room, you will want to remove that with a pry bar and take it out of the room to get it out of the way.

Next, lay out the vapor barrier starting from the longest wall in the room. You will lay the material one row at a time and follow the directions that came with it from the manufacturer. Some materials need to overlap while others just need to touch.

Before beginning the full-fledged installation, is it a good idea to trim around the door jams. This will give the floor a nice, finished look once it is complete. After the jams are trimmed and ready to go, install the first row of flooring along the longest wall. Put spacers between the wall and the plank so the flooring cal breathe and expand as needed.

For each plank, match the tongue and groove together and gently tap them together. Use a piece of scrap flooring between the planks and the hammer so you do not damage the planks you are installing. Once you have moved all the way across the floor, you will need to trim the very last plank in order to make it fit properly.

Flooring installation is not something everyone can do easily. If you do not feel as if it is the right project for you, contact your local home improvement store for help.
