You too can install Swiftlock laminate flooring in your home
If you are looking for attractive and durable flooring, then make sure to check out Swiftlock laminate flooring. It is a great choice for your home, vacation property or office and it comes in a wide selection of wood finishes. One of the advantages of Swiftlock laminate flooring is that is can be installed on top of most existing surfaces including tile, concrete, vinyl and of course the sub floor.
Traditional hardwood floors are nailed to the sub floor which keeps the boards in place. Swiftlock laminate flooring like some others uses a floating floor technique which means that the boards are not nailed or screwed to the sub floor. When laying the boards, it is quick and easy as the boards simply lock together. Space along the outsides is left to allow for expansion and contraction with temperature and humidity changes.
Swiftlock laminate flooring is great for any room in your home including the bathroom. Installation techniques are a bit different if you choose to lay it in the bathroom. In this case, it is suggested that a thin bead of flooring glue is run on the top of the tongue to ensure the boards remain in place due to the higher humidity content and to protect against water spills. Other than that, installation in other rooms is quick and easy and many people are able to do it themselves over a weekend.
