SERVICE OVERVIEW

Floating floor installation is a method of installing a type of flooring that does not require the planks or tiles to be directly attached to the subfloor. Instead, the flooring planks are interlocked together to create a "floating" floor that sits on top of a foam or cork underlayment. This method of installation is commonly used for laminate, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank flooring.

Here are the general steps involved in floating floor installation:

1.    Preparation: The subfloor must be cleaned and inspected to ensure it is free of debris and level. If necessary, leveling compound can be applied to even out any unevenness.

2.    Underlayment: The foam or cork underlayment is then installed on top of the subfloor. The underlayment helps to absorb sound, provide a cushioning effect, and protect the flooring from moisture.

3.    Layout: The flooring planks are then laid out in the desired pattern to ensure proper fit and spacing. It is important to stagger the planks to create a more natural-looking floor.

4.    Installation: The planks are then interlocked together using a tongue and groove system. No adhesive or nails are required for installation.

5.    Trim and finishing: Once the planks are installed, the perimeter of the room is trimmed with baseboards or quarter-round molding to cover any gaps and give the floor a finished look.
