Laminate Installation in Dubois, PA
By following these helpful considerations for before, after, and during your new laminate installation, you can ensure a smooth process in your home or business.
Before Laminate Installation
Remove all furniture, electronics, items, and wall hangings from the rooms and closet areas receiving new laminate. Since many laminate floors offer glue-down and floating installation options, your current floors may not need to be removed completely! Complete all painting and touch-ups prior to installation. Take down the doors in the installation area if a floating laminate floor will raise the new flooring height. Once your subfloor has been professionally assessed, you are ready for new laminate installation.
During Laminate Installation
On the day of your laminate installation, an adult needs to be home to answer questions for the installation crew. Designate an area in the home for the workers to keep installation tools, keep boxes of laminate before they are installed, and to saw pieces as needed. Keep all children and pets away from the rooms receiving new laminate and the worker’s area. Establish appropriate ventilation in the home as instructed by the installers.
After Laminate Installation
Once your new laminate is installed, it is important to wait the specified amount of time before walking on the new floors and returning furniture to the rooms. Many floating floors are ready for light foot traffic immediately after installation! Always return furniture by either lifting or using proper moving equipment with rollers to avoid scratching the floors. We recommend using felt protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to reduce impact. Shave the bottom of the doors before reattaching them to ensure full range of motion with the new flooring height.
