Flooring installation instructions for Laminate floors

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

When you choose new flooring for your home, one of the things you will have to consider is flooring installation. There are plenty of flooring contractors you can hire to install the floors for you, but if you are on a budget, you might want to work on flooring installation yourself. Some flooring is easy to install and you can save quite a bit of money doing the work yourself. If you feel you are a handy person, flooring installation on certain types of floors might be easy enough for you to handle.

If you have chosen laminate flooring, you have made a good choice. Laminate floors are durable, relatively cheap, and require very little maintenance. They are also much easier to install than carpeting, hardwood floors, and other styles of flooring.

Before you begin the installation process, collect the following tools and items: a rubber mallet, a tape measure, a coping saw, a laminate flooring pull bar, a hammer, nails, a utility knife, flooring materials, and an underlayment pad. Once you have everything gathered, you can begin the process.

If you are working on a floor that already has flooring on it, you will have to remove that flooring. If you have carpet and padding, do not just remove the material, but also the tack strips that lay around the edges of the room. You will also have to scrape the floor to get rid of any padding that might be stuck to it. Vacuum and clean the floors to prepare them for the new flooring. If you see any damage or dips, repair them at that time.

Then, you will want to carefully remove the baseboards around the room so you can use them later. Prior to buying the underlayment and laminate flooring, you would have measured the square footage of the room. It is a good idea to add at least 5% to that footage so that you have room for mistakes and possibly needed scrapes.

Before you work on laminate flooring installation, you will have to roll out the underlayment pad. Connect the pieces of the pad together with tape. Some snap together and others have different kinds of joints.

Laminate flooring is a floating floor. That means it is not connected to the house. Leave a tiny space between each wall so you can replace the baseboards later. You will want the flooring to fit together snuggle so use your mallet and pull bar to make sure that it does.

The hardest part will be around the doorway. You will have to use a utility knife to make exact cuts and you might need a little wood glue to keep things together. Once you have the flooring installation complete, reinstall the baseboards and enjoy your new floor.
