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.
NuCore Excellence Laminate Flooring Flooring FAQs
Our NuCore Excellence is coated with a water resistant, scratch resistant, UV resistant AC4 wear layer and promises a lifetime structural warranty in both residential and commercial settings. In other words, the NuCore Excellent laminate flooring is built for lasting durability.
The NuCore Excellent laminate flooring is water resistant, which makes it easier to clean. You can use a wet mop, but avoid flooding the floors and be sure to dry after using water. You can also use vacuuming, but be sure to avoid abrasive heads and other tools which may scratch the surface.
Laminate flooring is made of not natural timber, but rather processed woodpulp fused together into a high density fibreboard (HDF). Laminate floors have a wear layer which is scratch, water and UV resistant on the surface, followed by a realistic print layer which sits on top of the HDF board. These are floating floors, meaning you don’t need smelly glue or loud nails during the installation. This makes it much easier and cheaper to install laminate floors.
