Giving a room or your home a whole new look with laminate is very easy, extremely fast and not messy at all. Laminate is usually “floated” over the subfloor. That means it’s not glued, nailed, taped or stapled. After leaving a small fraction of an inch around the perimeter of the room, laminate clicks together in place with virtually no gaps between pieces.
Our Experts will work with you to insure a quality installation. Details like trim, transitions and moldings are best handled by your Floors To Go Installers. With years of experience, they can provide a quality installation that will give you the look you expect.
Some new underlayments now feature antimicrobial properties which help prevent mold from growing should the back get wet. We advise you to consider purchasing the best you can afford to get the most features and benefits. Your Floors To Go Expert can advise you on the appropriate underlayment for you.
The most important feature of laminate (and one that you can’t see!) is the underlayment. This is a cushiony material that absorbs sound, helps to keep the floating floor in place, and acts as a moisture barrier. The underlayment is purchased separately and put down like a carpet cushion. However, in some laminates, it comes pre-attached to each piece of laminate.
