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.
Our Cosmopolitan laminate flooring will constantly exceed prescribed norms with a fully integrated production process all the way from the tree to the finished panel, passing through extensive testing and measuring facilities to ensure the highest quality in every plank. Our range offers six wood looks with a distinctive blend of elegance, highlighting your room’s character as well as adding a contemporary touch. We also go above and beyond any legal requirements by offering a 30 year residential guarantee and 8 year commercial guarantee.
As laminate flooring features water resistance capabilities, they can be cleaned with water. However, ensure the floors are dried after cleaning to mitigate the risk of any water damage from prolonged exposure. Sweeping and vacuuming are two effective alternatives of cleaning without any water. To keep your laminate floors looking as good as new, consider placing doormats at all entrances of your home which prevents excess dirt from coming in and damaging your floors.
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.
