Laminate Installation Tips

The Floor Barn is a Laminate Flooring Store Mansfield TX where we sell and install laminate floors. Laminate floors are a huge favorite of our clients because of its many benefits. It is an affordable floor, it is an extremely durable material and the technology has improved so much that many look very similar to natural hardwood floors. An additional benefit is that it is relatively easy to install in comparison to many other flooring products and is a favorite amongst DIY homeowners.
Most laminate floors utilize the patented Uni-Click method that makes installing laminate a snap. Prior to installing, the first thing you must do is to decide on whether the existing flooring in your home needs to be removed prior to installation or if there is a possibility to install the laminate over the existing floor.
If you existing flooring is a material like carpet, tile, hardwood or laminate, then you will want to remove the existing floor prior to installation of your new laminate  However, if you have vinyl floors, there is a possibility you can save yourself a lot of sweat and time by floating the laminate over the existing vinyl. 
You will want to inspect the vinyl floor. You will need to look at the edges and seams to make sure there are no major tears and to make sure the laminate is still adhered to the subfloor properly to prevent it from coming up.  If the edges and seams are good, then you can skip the laborious vinyl removal and float your laminate over the floor. Prior to doing that, you will want to take a large level across the floor to make sure that the floor is level and there are no significant dips. If there are, then you will need to mix up some concrete patch and level out those areas so that you can install your laminate properly. 
When installing your laminate, make sure to following all instructions and guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
If you need assistance with the installation or want the best deals on purchasing your floors, The Floor Barn is a laminate flooring store Mansfield, TX also serving other cities around the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex.
