“Is Laminate Flooring Installed Like Traditional Wood Flooring?”
Generally, no. Laminate flooring is often referred to as a “floating” flooring system. It is called floating because it is not fastened to the substrate. It is installed over a thin layer of foam a
placed on the floor and held down by a moulding placed around the perimeter of the room.
The laminate flooring planks are glued at the tongue-and-groove joints.

The laminate flooring installation is completed with wallbases to cover the joint between floor and wall. It is easier and faster to install than traditional wood flooring, and makes a great project for do-it-yourselfers. [tags]laminate flooring installation, wood floors[/tags]
