Choosing the Right Laminate Flooring
Selecting the right laminate flooring is essential to achieve the desired look and functionality for your space. Consider the following factors when making your choice:
- Thickness: Laminate flooring comes in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 6mm to 12mm. Thicker planks offer increased stability, durability, and noise reduction. Consider the traffic levels in the area where the flooring will be installed to determine the appropriate thickness.
- Finish: Laminate flooring is available in a range of finishes, including glossy, matte, and textured options. Consider the aesthetic appeal you want to achieve and the level of maintenance required for each finish.
- Style Options: Laminate flooring offers a wide array of styles, mimicking the look of hardwood, stone, or tile. Choose a style that complements your overall design theme and personal preferences.
- Durability: Look for laminate flooring with a high Abrasion Class (AC) rating. The AC rating indicates the durability and resistance to wear and tear. Higher AC ratings are suitable for commercial spaces or areas with heavy foot traffic.
Our team at Flamingo Flooring can guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the right laminate flooring that meets your style, budget, and performance requirements.

Preparing for Laminate Installation
Before the installation process begins, proper preparation is crucial. Here are important steps to follow:
- Subfloor Inspection: Our professionals will inspect the subfloor for any moisture issues, cracks, or unevenness. If necessary, repairs or adjustments will be made to ensure a solid and level surface for the laminate installation.
- Moisture Barrier: In areas prone to moisture, such as basements or bathrooms, a moisture barrier may be required to prevent water damage. Our team will assess the moisture levels and recommend the appropriate moisture barrier or underlayment.
- Removal of Existing Flooring: If there is existing flooring in the area, it will need to be removed before laminate installation. Our team will handle the removal process efficiently, ensuring a clean and smooth surface for the new laminate flooring.
- Acclimation: Laminate flooring needs to acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity levels before installation. This process helps prevent warping or buckling after installation. Our team will follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper acclimation time.
By taking these preparatory steps, we can ensure a successful and long-lasting laminate installation. Our dedicated team at Flamingo Flooring is ready to assist you every step of the way.
