Laminate Flooring Installation
Because of its dimensional stability, laminate can be installed anywhere in the home, including rooms that are below grade (such as a basement), rooms with a concrete sub-floor and rooms subject to more moisture, such as the kitchen. Laminate floors can even be installed over an in-floor radiant heating system. Click on “Laminate Installation” above to learn more about laminate installation methods in different areas of your home.
