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.
Clever Classic Matt Laminate Flooring Flooring FAQs
The Clever Classic Laminate Collection offers a selection of contemporary colors and styles in hardwood flooring. The collection consists of a wide range of wood species with a unique micro bevel edge profile for a natural looking transition between each plank. The embossed in register surface means you can literally feel the wood grain texture which matches the visual design on each plank. This makes the Clever Classic laminate flooring very realistic.
The Clever Classic Matt Collection can be cleaned through vacuuming, mopping and general sweeping. However, this is a laminate floor range which is made of wood. This means you should never use excessive moisture when mopping. On the bright side, they are very durable and easy to maintain. Regular cleaning and care when moving heavy furniture will keep them beautiful for a long time.
Laminate flooring is one of the most popular floor coverings for a long time running – owing to it’s affordability and superior scratch and dent resistance. These floors are manufactured from recycled wood material into a high density fibreboard. Advance printing and surface embossing technology allow us to replicate the look and feel of authentic timber flooring, making them a beautiful alternative to traditional solid timber.
