Can I install living room laminate flooring myself?

Our laminate installation guide explains all you need to know – but we can also help you arrange hassle-free professional fitting to take the job off your hands.
How long will living room laminate last?
Living room laminate flooring is loved for its long-lasting durability and stylish appeal, with a lifespan of decades when properly cared for. Our top-quality laminate brands such as Quick-Step come with a 25-year residential warranty, guaranteeing beautiful floors that last.
Is underlay recommended for living room laminate flooring?
Underlay is highly recommended for floating floor options like laminate. For living rooms, it all depends on your subfloor. If you have a wooden subfloor, laminate can help provide a level surface for your flooring, while concrete flooring may need a layer of moisture resistant underlay. Living room laminate underlay helps lock in heat and improve sound absorption.
Will living room laminate flooring scratch easily?
Our laminate for living room spaces is designed with a protective top layer and sturdy core, making it resistant to scratches from living room furniture. We still recommend using protective furniture feet pads to help prevent unnecessary damage and scratches.
How do I care for living room laminate flooring?
Thanks to its water resistant upper layer, any spills or dirt can easily be cleaned up with a simple brush or damp (almost dry) cloth. Laminate flooring isn’t 100% waterproof, so it’s recommended to keep moisture to a minimum and avoid using a steam mop, as this could damage the planks. Our laminate care guide offers all the tips and tricks you need to keep your laminate floors fresh.
