Laminated Flooring Fitters
What We Speak.
Laminated flooring is cheaper to buy and install than wood flooring, but there is more to laminated flooring than that - laminated floors have many advantages over hard wood floors. Laminate floors are extremely durable, easy to install, and are easier than wood floors to maintain - a laminated floor doesn't require any special treatment. Laminated flooring can also be fitted in kitchens and bathrooms as laminate floors do not suffer from the effects of moisture
.
Laminate flooring has become the floor of choice for many homeowners in the past several years. There are many good reasons for this. Notably, it needs very little maintenance (unlike carpet), it is incredibly durable, and it comes in a vast array of colours/styles. Since being introduced to the US back in 1982, laminate flooring sales has seen a growth of up to twenty per cent per year. This article is a step by step guide on how to install laminate flooring in your home.

The first thing to do is roll out the underlayment pad. Connect the pieces together with wide, clear, plastic tape. How your laminate planks connect depends on the brand you buy but they are all rather simple; most simply snap together. Remember to stagger the joints.
Laminate flooring is a type of “floating floor”, meaning that it is all connected to itself but not to the house. With this in mind, leave 1/4” clearance at each wall. On the initial wall where you start, use spacers that you can pull out before installing the baseboards.
As you go along you will need to use your mallet and pull bar to snug things up. A few gentle taps will do.
Things will get tricky as you go through doorways; the manufacturer's instructions most likely will not tell you about this because it impedes sales to DIY 'ers. In some circumstances the best solution is to use your utility knife to trim the snapping connections on the adjoining planks so that they can slide together. In this case, use a few drops of wood glue to keep them together.
