Why should I choose laminate floors?

Laminate flooring is a great way to achieve the look of hardwood flooring at a more affordable price. It’s also less expensive to install per square foot. Laminate flooring resists scratches, dents and stains making it a great option for people with pets or for use in high traffic areas. When laying laminate flooring, remember that it can even be installed over existing vinyl, hardwood and tile flooring, provided the floor is clean, level and doesn’t have moisture problems.

Will I need trim and molding for my new hardwood floor?

Yes, trim and molding are an important part of any flooring project. These strips fill in gaps and create transitions from not only floor to wall but also room to room.

Where can laminate flooring be installed?

Laminate installation is an excellent choice for many rooms in your home, including your living room, bedrooms, dining room or basement. The tough top layer can resist moisture making it a great option for kitchens and bathrooms where spills are a possibility. It can also be installed over existing flooring such as vinyl, hardwood and tile provided the floor is clean, level and doesn’t have moisture problems. Laminate cannot be installed over existing carpet or an existing floating floor.

Is underlayment required for installing laminate?

Underlayment helps reduce noise when your floor is walked on. Many underlayments are mold-and mildew-resistant, sealing out moisture to protect your floors. Our laminate installers can help you choose the right underlayment option for your floor, although some come pre-adhered to the product.

Can laminate be installed over an uneven subfloor?

While specific tolerances vary by product, having a level subfloor prevents damage to the locking system, gaps between boards and poor floor performance. If necessary, our professional installers will level your subfloor prior to installation at an additional cost. Their expertise will ensure you have a flat surface.
