Can laminate flooring be installed by myself?

Drilling - baseboards

Before installing the floor, you must first drill holes in the wall to prepare for installing the baseboards.

Key points: In order to ensure the reliability of the baseboard, the distance between each nail should not be too long, generally no more than half a meter.

(1) Drill holes;

(2) Nail the wooden block into the drilled hole, and the nails that fix the baseboard are nailed to the wooden block.

Laying a moisture-proof layer

Before laying a moisture-proof layer, remember to clean the ground and make sure it is dry. The space between the two moisture-proof layers should be sealed with tape to ensure the sealing effect.

Laying the floor

Start laying the floor. Compared with solid wood flooring, the laying of laminate flooring is relatively simple. Because it is a standardized product, there is no need to worry about color differences. Because the quality is stable, there is no need to consider the gaps between the floors. Just lay out the laminate flooring pieces and splice them together

Install the skirting lines

Fix the skirting lines. The purpose of baseboards is to cover the unsightly gaps between the floor and the wall. In order to achieve a coordinated decorative effect, the baseboards can be selected according to the color of the door casing or the color of the floor.

The floor and baseboards have been installed, but the entire installation is not completely finished. Since the furniture is not brought in when the floor is installed, generally responsible construction teams will remove the packaging boxes and lay them on the installed floor to prevent wear and tear.

1. Although the laminate flooring is stable, a gap of about 1CM should still be left around to prevent moisture expansion in the future. During installation, most workers use small wooden blocks (mentioned above) to fix them, and then take them out after installation. 2. In order to ensure that the floor will not arch or deform in the future, metal buckles should be used to separate the laminate flooring at a certain distance. Generally, it can be used at the intervals of each room
