How to Install Laminate Flooring

To install laminate flooring, you will need to:

1. Prepare the subfloor. The subfloor must be level, dry, and free of debris. If the subfloor is not level, you will need to level it using a self-leveling compound. 2. Install the underlayment. The underlayment will help to protect the laminate flooring from moisture and noise. 3. Install the first row of laminate flooring. Start by installing the first plank in the corner of the room. Use spacers to ensure that there is a 1/4-inch gap between the wall and the flooring. 4. Continue installing the laminate flooring. Continue installing the laminate flooring by snapping the planks together. Use the tapping block to tap the planks into place. 5. Install the last row of laminate flooring. The last row of laminate flooring may need to be cut to fit. Use the flooring cutter to cut the planks to the desired length. 6. Trim the laminate flooring. Use a utility knife to trim the laminate flooring around the edges of the room.
