Yetzer knows laminate.
Laminate flooring is a versatile material designed and engineered for easy installation. You can install laminate floors in almost every room in your home, above or below ground, and over wood or concrete.
At Yetzer Home Store, we know from experience that laminate flooring installation is 30% to 50% faster than other floors because there’s no need for adhesives or special tools. It’s a great weekend project for DIYers with intermediate experience.
Getting ready for your laminate installation
Preparation is important for a successful laminate installation. You should consult with your Yetzer Home Store flooring specialist for full instructions, but there are steps you can take to help the process go smoothly:
- If have to remove your existing flooring to make a suitable subfloor, the process will be different depending on the existing flooring; extra care may be required if your previous flooring is glued down or set in tile adhesive. Having this work done professionally can be a huge help to the installation process, since a professional will know what “ready” looks like, will be able to provide a smooth, level subfloor, and may be able to assist with the disposal of your old flooring.
- The room where your new laminate will be installed must be completely empty of furniture. Consider hiring a moving service for large or heavy items. A professional moving team can empty a room or even a whole house quickly. This can cut down the amount of time you have to live without your furniture to as little as a single day at each end of the job. It’s also a good idea to take down photos or other items hanging on the wall, as these can be damaged during installation.
During & after your laminate installation
An adult member of your household (age 18 or older) should greet your installation crew upon arrival and show them to the work area.
- You should receive a walkthrough from the lead installer, so you can have a clear idea of what the job will involve. You should feel free to ask them any questions you may have.
- Keep children and pets away from the work area to ensure their safety and interrupt installation.
- After installation, if you are sensitive to dust and odors, good ventilation should be established for 48 to 72 hours after installation to make sure that dust from the installation settles.
- If you have questions about floor maintenance, we would be happy to answer them for you. Feel free to contact us at Yetzer Home Store!
