Laminate floors are the most popular choice of wood flooring due to the fact the are very easy to install, can be installed in all areas of the house (except wet rooms) and are suitable for use over any type of subfloor including underfloor heating.

Click System Floating Installation

Click System Floating Installation is the most common and DIY friendly installation method because it is the easiest and the fastest to do, can be installed over any type of subfloor and it does not require any special skills or prior experience in installing floors as the floors just clicks together with no need for any glue.

All flooring installations must use an approved underlay. Over a concrete subfloor you will need to use and underlay which has a built in damp proof membrane like Barrier Plus, while over a wooden subfloor you can use the standard Barrier underlay. For installations over underfloor heating we recommend using Tuplex underlay.

Each board has a click profile on all four sides to join the boards together simply insert the tongue into the groove at a high angle and then push them down. The boards will then click together.

To allow for any movement of the floor you will need to leave a 10mm expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. To maintain this gap during installation spacers are provided in the installation kits (purchased separately). After you have installed the floor you can cover this expansion gap with scotia / beading or new skirting boards. The 10mm expansion gap also needs to be left in doorways where the floor follows through from one room to another; we have a full range of door profiles available to match your floor.

The above is a brief guideline on the installation of laminate flooring, always refer to the manufactures installation guidelines contained within packs of floor. View Manufactures Installation Guides.
