Pre-Installation Preparation
Pre-Installation Preparation
Do I need to acclimate the flooring? Yes. This is the most critical step. You must leave the unopened boxes flat in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours. This allows the planks to adjust to the room's temperature and humidity, preventing them from warping or shrinking after they are laid.
Can I install laminate over carpet?
Can I install laminate over carpet?
No. Carpet is too soft and "bouncy," which will cause the click-lock joints of the laminate to break under pressure. You must remove the carpet and its padding first.
Can I install it over existing tile or wood?
Can I install it over existing tile or wood?
Yes, provided the surface is clean, dry, and perfectly level. If laying over a wooden floor, ensure all boards are secure and flat.
How much extra flooring should I buy?
How much extra flooring should I buy?
