Floating Installation Method
A floating floor is either an engineered hardwood or laminate floor that is not attached to the sub-floor. A foam or rubber padding is used, which protects against moisture, reduces noise, and adds a cushion under foot. The padding is installed first and the floor is installed over the padding. The tongue and groove boards are held together either by glue or by a click and lock system. A floating floor installation is quick and easy, ideal for the do-it-yourself homeowner.
Please consult the manufacturer for specific installation instructions.
