DURING INSTALLATION
- Make sure you have a plan for your existing flooring or subflooring. This may need to be removed, and it costs extra if it's not something that is figured out ahead of time.
- Your crew will acclimate the laminate planks to the temperature of the room.
- They will then trim door jams and install the underlayment
- The crew will begin to lay the laminate planks. Some laminate floors will be connected using an interlocking system, "a floating floor," while others may require an adhesive. Prior to your installation, you should know which installation method your crew will be using.
- Your installation team will provide the finishing touches, including removing any spacers, installing door thresholds, and caulking the edges of baseboards.
AFTER INSTALLATION
- Complete a final walk-through with your crew to assess the quality of the job.
- Ask any questions that you might have to your crew or our team.
- Run a fan to remove any ventilation-related smells.
