INSTALLING LAMINATE FLOORING?
Prior to installation laminate flooring needs to acclimate on site for 48 hours by placing the unopened boxes in the same room they are to be installed. While waiting, remove the old flooring and check to ensure that the sub-floor is solid, level and dry. Prepare the area by undercutting any door jambs and closet doors to allow the planks to slide under the jamb for a custom fit. To begin the installation, place temporary spacers along the starting wall to allow for the proper expansion gap. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for laying the flooring and be sure to check each plank for its suitability for installation. There are several different techniques for installing the flooring around fireplaces, inside closets and even on stairs and valuable video resources can be found online. It is wise to plan ahead to avoid mistakes. For further installation assistance contact a Laminate Warehouse representative.
