Because laminate flooring has become such a popular choice for a variety of rooms in the home, knowing this information would certainly save a lot of people difficulty in getting the flooring installed perfectly.
The following tips should be considered, regardless of the type of laminate flooring or the room where it is being installed.
• Laminate flooring installation over concrete or a concrete floor that has been covered with tile would require a six millimeter plastic sheet to be placed down as a vapor barrier. Additionally, this sheet should overlap by a minimum of eight inches and be placed so it covers every inch of the floor. Once in place, seams should be closed with masking tape.
• When installing laminate flooring with a ceramic or slate tile design, the width associated with the first and last plank should be relatively equal so they are the same as the width of the room and for length, the first and last planks should be close to the full length of the room where being installed.
• For laminate flooring installation of planks, the length should run parallel to light coming into the room, which would create a more aesthetically pleasing floor.
• One of the goals of laminate flooring installation is to avoid ending up with a uniform look. To accomplish this while creating a unique appearance, alternate the installation of planks from different cartons. For instance, if you have four boxes full of laminate planks, use one plank from carton one, one from carton two, one from carton three, and one from carton four while keeping the tongue and groove configuration in line. The result would be a floor that looks more like genuine hardwood.
• If you need to install laminate flooring around pipes, the easiest way would be to drill a hole in a plank measuring one-quarter to one-half an inch larger than the diameter of the pipe. Then, the plank would be cut across the center of the circle. Position the laminate plank on the floor and glue plank pieces together. To ensure you get a firm connection, clamp the two glued pieces and allow them to set for several hours or until completely dry. Next, any expansion gaps would be covered with pipe rings or if preferred, molding. If laminate flooring installation would be around water pipes, be sure to use heavy-duty silicone sealant to finish the project.
• To create a professional looking floor, make sure laminate flooring extends beneath any doorframes. The easiest method to accomplish this is by using a piece of scrap flooring so the depth the doorframe needs to be trimmed could be marked with a pencil.
• Sometimes during laminate flooring installation one or more planks are damaged. If this happens, you would need to lift up the last plank installed but just about one and one-quarter to one and one-half an inch. Once that plank disconnects from the tongue and groove system, you would move on to the next plank, following the same procedure. Continue until the damage plank has been reached. At that time, the damaged plank would be completely removed with a new one installed. Once in place, you would reconnect all the loosened planks again locking them into place with the tongue and groove system.
