* Floor Acclimation – Most manufacturers require a 48-72 hour period where the laminate is stored in your home so that it acclimates to the temperature of your home and limits the possibility of expansion or contraction after the installation.

* Sub Floor Preparation – Whether your subfloor is plywood or concrete, you will want to make sure that it is free of debris and leveled to make sure there are no rises or dips prior to the install. 

* Underlayment – Selecting your underlayment is just as important as selecting the right laminate floor. You will not want to select the thin plastic options if you want to have a hollow sound as you walk on your floor and will not protect well against possible moisture problems coming up through your subfloor. As a laminate floor installer, we always use a 3 in 1 underlayment that provides good support to your floors, acoustic protection and moisture protection.

* All of our products we sell in our store are click and lock method. It does not require glue or nails like installing wood. So if you are the handy type of person, you might want to tackle the installation yourself. There are a lot of good how to videos out there to give your direction.

Everyone comes has their own approach when starting their shopping for discount hardwood floors. Some homeowners might see a floor that they like in the house of a friend or family member, some people might see on that they like in photos of a home improvement site like Houzz, and most people have no idea and are a little nervous about beginning their journey for finding the right wood floor for their home.

One thing to consider is that what floor is right for your friend or family member, might not be the right floor for your home. Yes, you might love the look, but maybe your family member has a Birch hardwood floor and they do not have kids and pets, where you might and then you should consider a harder wood species like Maple or Hickory.

I recommend going to you local flooring store for suggestions. Avoid the “Big Box” stores like Home Depot or Lowes where they might have someone who is not a flooring specialist providing advice to you, where as your local flooring store specializes in flooring and often have years of experience. There at the store, they can ask you the right questions to point you in the right direction for your new floors.

Things to research in your new wood floor is the wood species and its hardness rating, the wood floor thickness, the wear layer thickness, the warranty, then of course you will also want to find the floor that has the right color and look that you want.

If you live in the Dallas Fort Worth area or your are shopping online for your new discount hardwood floors, visit our store at http://www.floorbarn.com for the best prices on engineered hardwood and laminate flooring.
