How to install laminate flooring step by step
2
Prepare the flooring
Before you can install laminate flooring, you
will need to acclimatize the boards by leaving
them in the room where you are laying for at
least two days.
3
Prepare the room
 A waterproof membrane will need to be laid
before you can install laminate flooring on top
of the concrete oversight too. Cut the skirting
round temporarily and once it is fitted remove
and put to one side for later.

Prepare the linings
Unless you are laying the wood flooring
continuously between two or more rooms, you need
to work out at each doorway where the floor will
finish and the thresholds will be. They need to
be fitted so they are under the center of the
door when it is closed.

Choose which direction to install
Laminate flooring should either be laid in the
same direction that the light shines into the
room, or if there are windows all around along
the longest wall.
8
Underlay
Grab the right underlay, it will either be in a
roll or square tiles. If it's square tiles just
lay enough to get the first few rows down, and
lay the tiles in the opposite direction to which
the floor boards will go down.

Start laying
Laying from left to right and with the tongue
facing the wall get the first boards clicked
together end to end. Use 8-10mm spacers to leave
an expansion gap around the perimeter. The last
board will need cutting to length.

Clicking the boards together
When I first learned to install laminate flooring
I would get a few boards clicked together, get to
the end of a row and when fitting the last board
in the first in that row would pop out!

Cutting boards
All types of man made board like MDF, plywood and
laminates that contain glues and resins will take
the edge off saw blades much more quickly than
natural timber.
