Underlayment comes in large rolls or as separate pieces that can be taped together. If you're placing a laminate floor on top of a concrete slab , apply a polyethylene plastic vapor barrier before installing the underlayment. Before you install the laminate flooring, store it inside your house to acclimate it to room temperature. This will help prevent the flooring from accumulating moisture , and it will reduce expansion and contraction during installation. Check for damage on each plank before installing it.
Individual planks can be very difficult to remove after they're set in place.
Plan your installation so that any irregularities in the ending wall will be hidden by appliances or furniture. Plan your installation so that the flooring helps emphasize the focal point of the room. Check your measurements before you begin to make sure the planks along your ending wall won't be too narrow . Dry fit the first three rows of planks. This will help keep the rest of the floor square.
