FAQs:
What thickness of laminate flooring is best?
Generally, thicker laminate flooring tends to be more durable and provides better sound insulation. A thickness of around 6mm to 12mm is often considered ideal for most homes. Thicker planks, such as 10mm or 12mm, offer enhanced stability but if you're installing laminate over existing flooring or in a low-traffic area, you might find thinner options like 8mm sufficient.
Does laminate flooring need underlay?
Yes, in most cases, laminate flooring does require underlay. Underlay serves a number of purposes such as being a moisture barrier, helping with sound reduction, offering thermal insulation and providing a smooth surface for the laminate.
How to lay laminate flooring
- Prepare the room: clean and level the floor.
- Lay underlay: roll out the underlay and tape it down.
- Start in a corner: begin laying the first row of laminate planks along the longest wall
- Click planks together: connect each plank by clicking the tongue into the groove of the previous one.
- Stagger joints: stagger the end joints of adjacent rows for stability.
- Cut planks as needed: use a saw to cut planks to fit around obstacles.
- Complete rows: continue laying planks row by row across the room.
- Leave expansion gaps: leave small gaps around the edges of the room for expansion.
- Install trim: install baseboards or trim to cover the gaps.
- Enjoy your new floor: once installed, remove spacers and clean up.
