1. How to Install Laminate Flooring
Over Concrete

2. This is a manageable project that you could do yourself, provided you have the tools and
adequate experience. However, hiring a professional will obviously provide the best results
as they have the necessary tools and skills.

3. The Best Way to Lay Laminate on
Concrete

4. Here are the steps to successfully install laminate
flooring over concrete.

5. Step 1: Acclimatize the
Floorboards
Store the laminate floorboards in the room in which they will be installed for at least three
days before you start.

6. This allows the material to adjust to the temperature and humidity level.

7. Step 2: Prepare the
Subfloor
Make sure the surface of the concrete is level, cured, clean and completely dry before
starting the installation.

8. This will prevent the laminate from bubbling and warping.

9. Step 3: Install
Underlayment
Concrete is prone to moisture problems, so it’s necessary to install underlayment
that acts as a vapour barrier.

10. Skipping this step will increase the likelihood of structural issues like warping.

11. Step 4: Install the
Planks
After the underlayment has been installed, the laminate planks are ready to be
installed as well.

12. Begin by laying them down from the farthest corner of the room and leave a ¼-
inch extension gap along the edges of the room.

13. So, there you have it! This is the best and easiest way to
install laminate floorboards over concrete.
