It is also impervious to most stains, spills, burns and laminate flooring is extremely scratch resistant. Properly installed, your laminate floor direct from FloorMall will provide years of worry free benefits to the home.
Laminate Floor Installation
A laminate floor is installed by floating the planks over most substrates including plywood, OSB, concrete slabs and some existing floor coverings. The planks and tiles have tongue and groove edges that lock them together. These floors are never secured directly to the sub floor.
For the most part, a laminate floor will require no glue to secure the planks and tiles together, they just snap together. Glueless installation makes these floors quick and easy-to-install and ideal for do-it-yourself installations. Some other laminate floors are pre-glued at the factory and only require a damp sponge to re-activate the adhesive along the tongue edges. While a few other laminate floors do require a specially formulated glue to be applied to each of the plank edges.
