Tile Flooring Installation

 

  

Laminate flooring is installed as a floating floor: planks click and lock together over the subfloor without being glued or nailed down. This allows the floor to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes. While many homeowners install laminate themselves, professional installation is recommended to ensure the subfloor is properly prepared and to protect your manufacturer warranty. For a step-by-step overview, see our laminate installation guide or learn more about what a floating floor is.

 

What maintenance and care does laminate flooring require?

 

Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes everyday dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a laminate-approved cleaner. Avoid steam mops and excess water, as moisture can damage the core layer if it seeps through the seams. Clean up spills promptly and check your manufacturer's guidelines for approved cleaning products.
