If you’ve ever had a new floor installed in your home or have researched how to do it on your own, you likely know that a flooring installation can be a long and difficult process including specialized glue or nailing methods to keep the flooring in place. However, there have since been advancements in the flooring industry, including the development of floating floors. Here is everything you need to know about a floating floor.
- An easier installation: A floating floor is a type of flooring installation method that allows you to install the flooring as almost a flooring cover over the subfloor without the use of nails or glue. Instead, the individual flooring planks interlock edge to edge on top of the subfloor to stay firmly in place.
- Suitable for various flooring options: Though this method can’t be applied for certain types of flooring, like ceramic or stone tiles, a few common types of floating floors include laminate flooring, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and tile flooring. You might also see it with a few select engineered hardwood floors.
- Professional installation is still necessary: While a floating floor does make the installation process far simpler without the hassle of nails, staples, or adhesives, it is still recommended to rely on a professional like us at Design Flooring, LLC for the job. We can ensure that every part of your flooring is installed flawlessly and in a way that will last for many years to come.
