| Installation, Laminate, Misc |
Laminate flooring has become one of the best selling floor coverings in the United States. In Europe laminate flooring is not new, as Europeans have been using it for 20+ years. What is laminate flooring? Laminate flooring is a tongue and groove interlocking flooring system. It can be installed over the top of the existing substrate and it is as simple as that.
This has made it a natural for Europe with mostly older buildings. Less new construction goes on in relation to home sales than the building in the United States and Canada. Plywood, concrete slab, sheet vinyl flooring, hardwood flooring, or virtually any other basically flat hard surface is suitable for a “floating” laminate installation.
In a standard laminate flooring floating installation, only the joints are glued or attached. The body of the floor rests unattached to an appropriate underlayment. Laminate flooring manufactures are creating laminate flooring that needs less glue. In fact most laminate flooring these days requires no glue.
