Installing laminate parquet flooring can transform the look of your space while adding durability and value to your home. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a homeowner looking to save on installation costs, this step-by-step guide will help you achieve a professional and flawless finish.

Materials You Will Need

  • Laminate parquet flooring
  • Underlayment
  • Tape measure
  • Spacers
  • Utility knife
  • Pry bar
  • Hammer
  • Screwdriver
  • Wood glue (if required)
  • Pulling bar
  • Laminate flooring installation kit

Step 1: Prepare the Subfloor

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any existing flooring and check for any protruding nails or loose boards. Repair or replace damaged subflooring as needed. Lay down the underlayment to provide sound insulation and protect against moisture.

Step 2: Measure and Plan

Measure the length and width of the room and calculate the total square footage you need to cover. Take into account any irregularities or obstacles in the room. Plan the layout by determining the best direction to lay the flooring for an aesthetically pleasing result.

Step 3: Acclimate the Flooring

Allow the laminate parquet flooring to acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours. This prevents the flooring from warping or expanding after installation.

Step 4: Install the First Row

Start in the corner of the room, leaving a 1/4-inch gap between the wall and the flooring to allow for expansion. Place spacers along the starting wall to maintain the gap. Connect the first row of planks, ensuring the interlocking edges are securely locked together.

Step 5: Continue with Subsequent Rows

Begin the second row with the remaining piece from the first row to achieve staggered joints. Cut the first plank of each row to ensure randomness in the planks’ lengths. Use a pulling bar and tapping block to click the planks into place. Apply gentle pressure until they lock together.

Step 6: Trim for Obstacles

When encountering doorways, vents, or other obstacles, measure and mark the planks for precise cuts. Use a utility knife or jigsaw to make the necessary adjustments. Remember to leave the required expansion gap around these obstacles.

Step 7: Complete the Installation

Continue installing the remaining rows, repeating the process of locking the planks together. Ensure consistent spacing between planks using spacers. Complete the installation by tapping the last row into place with a hammer and pulling bar.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Remove the spacers and install baseboards or trim to cover the expansion gap along the walls. Clean the floor thoroughly, removing any dust or debris. Use a laminate flooring cleaner to give your new laminate parquet flooring a polished look.

By following this step-by-step installation guide, you can achieve a professional-grade laminate parquet flooring installation that will enhance the beauty and value of your home. Remember to always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance and warranty requirements.
