When it comes to installing laminate flooring by yourself, it doesn’t take as much time as people might think. We have estimated the total time in this guide so that before getting our store’s cheap laminate flooring chesterfield you have a pretty good idea of what to expect in terms of installation duration. With that said, let’s get started:

Remember, Installation Time Depends on Area:

This is what you need to keep in mind before estimating the time it will take to install the laminate flooring. We would not want you to make wrong estimates and then not attend your friend’s wedding because it took longer than what you anticipated to install laminate.

So remember, the time it takes to place the laminate flooring hugely depends on the size of your floor. And for this guide, we are using an estimate for a room of 10 by 20 foot.

Although you can always visit Billy’s Laminate Flooring Chesterfield store and get an estimate on how much flooring you need for a specific area and how much time it could take, this guide is created to give you a general idea of a 10 by 20-foot space.

Making Preparations:

Once you have bought the best and cheap laminate flooring Chesterfield that people usually get from Billy’s Laminate Flooring Chesterfield store, you need to unpack the flooring. And then wait for three days to acclimate the space of the installation. It is necessary to let it acclimate so that there is no expansion of particleboard that is moisture sensitive.

Furthermore, you can perform various useful tasks during this time like you can prepare your room’s floor by levelling it if there is uneven surface anywhere. You can also undercut the door jambs to make space for the new laminate flooring and also remove existing baseboards if any!

Also, you can use this time to clean the subfloor and then lay a vapour barrier to ensure the safety of your flooring. And if you are getting bathroom laminate flooring Chesterfield, then moisture-proofing your bathroom is also a wise thing to do.

Installation of Flooring:

When it comes to laying the laminate floor, it can be done in just two to three hours in a 10 by 20-foot room. However, adding one or two hours more to fit the laminate around the obstacles in bathrooms or kitchens or around cabinets will be wise.

Now you can just multiply the total number of hours it takes for one room by the number of rooms you want to install the floor in, and you will get the estimated time for the whole area.

Final Words:         

So if we conclude the total time for a 10 by 20-foot area then it might take three and a half-day for complete installation (three days for acclimation and total 8 to 12 hours for installation). If you increase the number of rooms, the acclimation time will remain 3 days but the installation time will increase.
