Residential Laminate Flooring Installation

Experienced Laminate Flooring Installers

Laminate flooring allows you to get the look and feel of domestic hardwood, exotic hardwood, or expensive stone at a fraction of the cost. Laminate can visually replicate the look of natural products since its modeled after a detailed photograph of the original material. The image is coupled with advanced embossing that adds realistic texture to the floor surface.

Laminate comes in a variety of species, tiles, and unique designs. Whatever your style, you will probably find something you like. In laminate wood, there are long planks, tailored narrow planks, or you can opt for the new, casual wide planks. Finishes range from hand-scraped for the antique look or oil finishes for the high-end look. Call us and we can explain finishing in more detail.

If you’re into stone and tile, the same kind of embossing that goes into laminate wood decors is used to create fabulous ceramic and porcelain tile as well as stone installations. They come in 16-inch measurements and other shapes and sizes.

Quick and Easy Laminate Installation

Installing laminate floors to your home is quick and easy. Laminate is usually “floated” over the subfloor. That means it’s not glued, nailed, taped or stapled. After leaving a small fraction of an inch around the perimeter of the room, laminate clicks together in place with virtually no gaps between pieces.

Our skilled staff will work with you to insure a quality installation. Details like trim, transitions, and moldings are best handled by Ron & Russ Floorings Installers. With years of experience, they can provide a quality installation that will give your floors an excellent look.

The Importance of Underlayment for Laminate Floors

The most important feature of laminate (and one that you can’t see!) is the underlayment. This is a cushion-like material that absorbs sound, helps to keep the floating floor in place, and acts as a moisture barrier. The underlayment must be purchased separately and put down like a carpet cushion. However, in some laminates, the underlayment comes pre-attached to each laminate piece.

As with all flooring, it is best to place mats at entryways to stop dirt, sand, and oil from being tracked onto your floor. Rocks and dirt can scratch and dull your laminate over time. Vacuum regularly or use a dry dust mop to keep it shining. A damp mop can be used if needed, but don't use a soaking mop. And never let water stand on a laminate floor. Water can seep into the flooring causing warping, swelling and joint separation.

You should also make sure to:

• Never use an abrasive cleanser or steel wool
  
• Never wax or polish a laminate floor
• Clean spills immediately
  

If your laminate gets scratched, you can purchase a touch-up stick from the manufacturer to repair the damage.
