The easiest DIY floors are floating floors like this one! They click lock together and don’t need glue or nails - they're super easy to install and if you make a mistake, you can simply un-click them and redo it. Floating floors include laminate floors, hybrid floors, bamboo floors and even engineered timber (if you are after real wood).
What tools do I need to DIY this type of floor?
The most important tools are:
Drop Saw and / or Table Saw - to cut the floorboards and are available for $150 at most hardware stores, or you can borrow one.
Ruler or Set Square - to measure how much you need to cut for the end planks near the walls.
Pencil & Eraser - to draw the cutting lines when you reach the last planks of each row.
Other “nice-to-haves” include a DIY Flooring Kit (available at Floor venue), spirit levels, tape measures, safety equipment, and work gloves.
Pro installation tips
Floor Levelling - the subfloor refers to what you intend to lay the flooring directly over and is often concrete slabs, plywood, yellow tongue or even existing floorboards. Proper subfloor preparation is very important and you should:
Clean the subfloor
Check subfloor evenness (to prevent creaking and long-term joint damage)
Underlay - is typically a soft rubber or foam material that goes underneath the floor and provides noise protection. If you live in an apartment block, your strata may have acoustic underlay requirements that you must confirm before a project.
Expansion Gaps - between the floor and the walls to allow for natural expansion and shrinkage due to temperature and moisture changes. Consider:
Plank Width - wider planks have more expansion and should be given a slightly bigger expansion gap within the range below.
Environmental Moisture - if relative humidity is high, we recommend increasing the expansion gap size.
Our Select Engineered Timber Flooring is unique in the fact that our entire manufacturing process is third party eco-certified and accredited. Our planks’s surface layers are also made using the latest water based, non-toxic robust European coating technology in order to maximise durability. Even the installation system is top class, with our world renowned Valinge 5G locking profile enabling an effortless process.
Engineered floors are not water resistant, so be careful. The first step is to make sure you have the right mat at your entrance. It will stop dirt and grime from entering your home or business. When cleaning an engineered floor, choose a professional cleaning solution and use the right equipment. Avoid excess water on the floor when mopping by wringing out the mop before and during use.
Select Engineered Timber flooring is made up of a variety of real timber sources. The surface veneer of timber is fused to a plywood core to provide the authentic timber look at a lower price with even greater structural durability.
