Laminate Installation
Getting ready for new laminate
Laminate Installation in Cathedral City, Indio, and Palm Desert, CA
Follow these helpful steps before, during, and after your laminate installation for a seamless process.
Before Laminate Installation:
When preparing for new laminate installation, start by removing all the furniture, electronics, and wall hangings from the rooms and closets. Since many laminate products offer floating installation capability, the existing flooring may not need to be removed and disposed of entirely! Once the subfloor has been professionally assessed and approved, you are cleared for laminate installation.
During Laminate Installation:
On the day of your new laminate installation, an adult will need to be home to answer questions for the installation crew. Designate an area in the home for installers to keep tools, store boxes of laminate before they are installed, and saw planks as needed. Keep all children and pets away from the installation areas, and establish proper ventilation as instructed by your installation crew. Floating laminate installation will take less time to complete than glue-down laminate installation.
After Laminate Installation:
Once your laminate installation is complete, it is extremely important to wait for the specified amount of time before walking on the new floors and returning the furnishings to the room. Many floating laminate floors are ready for light traffic immediately! Always lift or use proper moving equipment with rollers when returning furniture and heavy items. We recommend using felt protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to reduce impact.
