Laminate Floor Installation

Types of Laminate Installation

Glued laminate flooring: This type of laminate flooring has been in use for a long time. The specially formulated glue is applied to the tongue and grooved areas of each plank. This offers excellent bonding.

Pre-glued laminate flooring: In this sort of laminate, the glue is already applied to the tongues and grooves and makes for easier and quicker installation.

Glueless laminate flooring: This is a radical method of laminate installation. Laminate flooring of this sort is portable. With this technique of laminate installation, the floor rests above the sub floor sans gluing. Glueless flooring can be used immediately unlike glued versions where you have to wait about 36 hours before you can walk on it. This type of flooring is available in pre-finished and laminated form. Manufacturers of floating floors provide a vapor retardant to cushion the floor. Floating flooring can be installed over existing tiles and makes for easier and quicker installation.
