Frequently Asked Questions
Measure the length and width of each room, multiply to get square footage, then add 10% for waste and cutting. Divide by the box coverage to determine the number of boxes. Standard boxes cover 15-25 square feet. Always round up to the nearest whole box.
Divide your total square footage (including waste) by the box coverage. For example, a 150 sq ft room with 10% waste needs 165 sq ft of laminate. At 20 sq ft per box, you need 9 boxes. Always buy from the same lot number to ensure color consistency.
Most laminate flooring requires underlayment for moisture protection, sound reduction, and minor subfloor smoothing. Some laminate planks come with attached underlayment padding. Standard underlayment covers 100 sq ft per roll, while premium options cover 50 sq ft.
Standard laminate flooring is not recommended for bathrooms due to moisture sensitivity. Water can seep between planks and cause swelling and warping. For bathrooms, consider luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or tile instead, which are 100% waterproof.
Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic product with a photographic image layer that mimics wood or stone. Hardwood is solid or engineered natural wood. Laminate is more scratch-resistant and affordable, while hardwood can be refinished multiple times and lasts longer.
