Laminate floors are meant to be floated over a variety of sub floors and never secured directly to any substrate. In other words, the laminate flooring just lays on top of the sub floor, which can be wood, concrete, or an existing floor. This allows the laminate flooring to expand and contract freely as the room environment changes.

Laminate floors come in planks and squares of various sizes and shapes. All four sides of each plank have a tongue and grooved edge for locking them together. A properly completed laminate floor installation will prove both long lasting and durable.

Laminate flooring is extremely versatile and can be installed on nearly every type of subfloor, ranging from concrete, to a new wood subfloor, to an existing vinyl or ceramic subfloor, as long as the subfloor is level, clean, and dry. Laminate flooring can be installed with confidence in nearly any part of a home or office, with the exception of areas prone to extreme dampness or excessive moisture, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms. To protect against moisture that might come from underneath your laminate floor, it is recommended that a vapor barrier be installed, or at least that a moisture-protecting underlayment be used under the flooring
