What Is A Floating Floor?

There are a few things to keep in mind when installing a floating laminate wood floor. Be sure that the floor is never attached to anything solid. This is not a neat option, but an install requirement. Floating laminate floors expand and contract with temperature changes and, if attached to anything solid, can become ruined by warping and peaking. This includes wall moldings as well. Be sure that you leave the prescribed amount of space between the edge of your laminate flooring and the wall, to allow for expansion.
