How to DIY This Floor?
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.
PALLAS Ultimate 9mm Hybrid Flooring Flooring FAQs
Our PALLAS Hybrid Ultimate flooring uses the latest german engineering technology to create a stylish and durable plank while also being a cost effective option compared to real hardwood floors. It features a 0.5mm commercial wear layer, making it ideal for commercial as well as residential environments. Moreover, these planks feature micro-bevelled edges to enhance an authentic timber look and feel.
PALLAS Hybrid Ultimate planks have scuff resistance which contribute to retention of a clean, authentic look without the effort of high maintenance. Only regular sweeping and a damp mop for general cleaning will be required to keep this flooring in top shape. However, steam mopping should not be used under any circumstances.
Hybrid floors are an innovative product which combines the best qualities of laminate and vinyl floors. Not only are they 100% waterproof, hybrid floors are also hard wearing and retain the natural look of real timber through embossing technology. As they are fully waterproof, hybrid floors can replace tiles for kitchens and even bathrooms if fully sealed during installation. It’s no wonder that they have been growing in popularity over recent years.
