Before Installation

Before our crews arrive on your installation day, there are a few steps you should take to ensure home is ready for your new flooring, and your installation runs smoothly.

  • Make arrangements to remove your existing flooring.
  • Make any necessary repairs to the subfloor, and prepare it for the installation, including removing any debris.
  • Remove all furniture, décor, and empty all closets in the rooms where your flooring will be installed.
  • Complete any projects such as painting baseboards or woodwork.

During & After Installation

Be prepared to be home and available to answer any questions our crews may have on installation day. Make plans for everyone and all pets to avoid the area where the new flooring will be installed. Our crews will work efficiently to make sure your tile installation is a smooth process.

After the crews are finished, you may need to open windows or run a fan to remove smells associated with the installation. You may be asked to remain off your floors for a period of time to let them settle. After that time frame you can place your furniture and décor, and then you will be free to enjoy your new laminate floors!

FAQ

With the right care your new laminate floors will look and perform like new for many years. Regular care and maintenance is important for the longevity of your flooring. Routine cleaning will keep your laminate looking great by removing dirt and debris that can scratch or damage your floors. Unfortunately, spills are inevitable, but by acting quickly you can prevent stains or damage. Do not use any products on your laminate without consulting your manufacturer. Learn more about how to keep your new floors looking and performing great for many years.

Cleaning your laminate floors regularly removes dirt and debris that can lead to scratches and damage. Regular cleaning lengthens the life of your floors. Here is a basic guide for cleaning your laminate:

  • Sweep or vacuum your floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. How often you sweep will depend on how much foot-traffic your room receives. If you vacuum your laminate be sure to remove the beater bar.
  • Dry or damp mop your floors. Avoid using too much water or allowing it to pool, as excessive moisture can damage laminate flooring.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the flooring and causing damage.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage laminate. Consult your manufacturer’s guide before using any cleaning products on your floors.
  • Place rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to protect reduce the amount of dirt tracked through your house and reduce the impact of wear and tear.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your laminate, as some products may require specialized cleaning methods or solutions.

Proper maintenance will ensure your laminate flooring remains beautiful for a long time.

  • Use furniture pads on the bottom of your furniture to prevent scratches or dents.
  • Protect your laminate floors from excessive sunlight, as this can cause them to fade or change color over time. Use window treatments such as blinds or curtains to control the amount of sunlight that enters the room.
  • Trim your pet’s nails regularly to avoid scratches on your laminate floors.
  • Control the humidity in your home to prevent laminate from expanding and contracting.
  • Prevent water from standing or pooling as it can cause the floors to bow or warp.

A great alternative to genuine wood with added water resistance, laminate flooring is composed of pressed composite wood or high-density fiberboard with a photographic image layer underneath a rigid resin layer. Emulating the look and feel of real hardwood, stone, or ceramic tile, laminate is even created in the longest, widest plank varieties and stone formats for realistic finished floors. The dense construction offers strength and durability, while reinforced aluminum oxide finishes provide scratch and stain resistance.

Both laminate and luxury vinyl flooring will help you capture striking wood and stone visuals for less, and with enhanced moisture resistance. Laminate planks are rigid, dense, and offer tremendous durability thanks to the multi-layered construction with an aluminum-oxide top wear layer. Luxury vinyl provides rigid texture while also offering a softer give, greater flexibility, and dimensional stability. Luxury vinyl offers more completely waterproof products, whereas laminate can bring supreme durability more readily.

Most laminate products offer water resistance but are not entirely waterproof. Make sure to purchase warranted waterproof laminate for areas like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or mudrooms. Although laminate offers greater moisture resistance than hardwood, you still need to clean up spills as soon as possible to prevent damage, dry any standing water as promptly as you can, and avoid using wet mops to clean.

Not all laminate flooring products come with attached underlayment, and padding is recommended for installation. If you want to use laminate flooring in rooms that experience moisture, padding will prevent moisture that comes through the subfloor from causing the floor to warp or the growth of mildew. If your laminate flooring does not feature attached padding, we recommend purchasing quality underlayment to enhance performance and the life of the floor.

Many of today’s laminate planks click together with locking systems and can often be installed over existing flooring, while other products are glue-down varieties. Although laminate offers greater DIY capability than hardwood, laminate planks will be harder to cut to size for tricker floorplans. Floating installation options will prove easier to install than glue-down installation. Always reference the manufacturer’s installation instructions to maintain your product warranties.

Laminate flooring is incredibly low maintenance. Daily or frequent sweeping will remove tracked-in dust and debris. Use a cloth and water to remove any spots, and a pH-neutral cleaner if needed. You need to verify that your laminate floors have the appropriate level of moisture resistance before you wet mop them. We also highly recommend using rugs to minimize the impact of household activity.

Perfect for homes with kids and pets where frequent spills and accidents can occur, you can simply wipe up most spills on laminates when they happen and use a pH-neutral cleaner to remove dried spills. You do not need steam cleanings, a vacuum, brushes, steel wool, or ammonia cleaners. Use a soft nylon brush, a manufacturer-approved cleaner, and water to treat spots and stains.

Under normal household conditions, your laminate flooring should last from 15 years up to 25 years with proper maintenance. The residential warranties of laminate flooring can vary widely among products, and longer warranties will cost more to purchase. As you explore different laminate products, use your household activity level to determine the thickness, water resistance, and AC rating of the best-suited options for your rooms and ensure longer-lasting performance.
