You may think that buying and installing laminate flooring is an easy task, but there are some points that, if not considered, will downgrade the final result of your project.

Let us make you familiar with the dos and don’ts of laminate parquet flooring step by step.

Consider the Temperature of the Surface Floor
It is vital to estimate the heat of the floor surface. If you have bought laminate parquet flooring tiles to lay them in a place where the surface temperature is high, we recommend you return them. It is better to pay attention to this issue when buying laminate parquet or other wooden floorings. Remember that solid wood floorings are not heat resistant. Because natural wood pieces may swell, crack and lose their shape. The maximum temperature between the laminate parquet flooring and the floor surface on which the laminate flooring is installed should be 27 degrees Celsius.
But don’t worry. If you like to have wooden-look flooring, you can use engineered wood flooring produced from boards and compressed MDF or HDF in factories and has a high resistance to heat. As a result, this flooring does not break or lose shape at high temperatures. This is why the popularity of this type of flooring is increasing day by day.

Underfloor Heating Surface Tips
When installing the flooring on an underfloor heating surface, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:
- Please note that the surface on which the laminate flooring is installed should be even and level. Heterogeneity and unevenness of more than three millimeters on the entire surface should be repaired. The surface should be entirely even before installing laminate flooring. Consult our professionals at Orange County’s Flooring America to solve this problem. Our experts remove any heterogeneity and unevenness of your surface. Floor leveling is our specialty. If you do not level the surface of your flooring, the possibility of hot and cold spots concentration is increased under the flooring. In the long term, it will reduce the durability of the laminate flooring installed on the floor of your home or workplace.

- Parquets installed as adhesive cannot be applied to the underfloor heating system. In this case, the installation must be floating, and laminate flooring parquets should be installed on the foam. The best option for this type of installation is to use porous tile cork foam.
- After installing the laminate flooring, the underfloor heating system must be off for at least 48 hours. After 48 hours, the heating system’s temperature from the floor under the laminate flooring should be gradually raised to 5 degrees. Failure to pay attention to this point and a sudden temperature rise can damage the laminate parquet flooring in your home or workplace.
- Always pay attention to the arrangement of home furniture so that there should be enough space on the laminate flooring to prevent heat accumulation. For example, it is not recommended to use the carpet so that it covers the whole space on the laminate parquet. Failure to pay attention to this point can cause heat accumulation in some areas and increase the concentration of heat in some parts of your laminate flooring and reduce its useful life.

Do not forget to Check the Humidity of the
Surface
Climate and humidity play an important role in choosing the flooring material of the building, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. In this case, you should purchase waterproof and moisture-proof flooring so as not to damage the parquet flooring in the long term run. Do not use solid wood or engineered wood flooring when you plan to install them on the bathroom floor surface. There is a lot of moisture in these spaces, and this type of wood flooring absorbs water and humidity, and it swells. The best flooring that you can use in such places is new types of waterproof laminate flooring.
With their various and wonderful designs, Laminate parquet floorings are very similar to hardwood parquet. They can withstand water and moisture well. Of course, luxury vinyl flooring is also suitable for such places. It is stylish with a modern appearance and durable against water and humidity.

Connect the Parquets Tiles Properly
No matter what method you have used to join and install the parquet tiles. You may need other methods to increase the connection of these tiles to each other. For example, laminate flooring or engineered wood is flat, and you can easily connect their tiles one by one through their grooves, and no connection or other additional parts are needed. But some older types of wood parquet needed nails and hammers to attach pieces. Otherwise, the wooden tiles would loosen after a while, and empty spaces would be created between the tiles. So, when buying laminate flooring and other similar floorings, ask the seller how to install them properly.
