Floating Floor Installation, planks interlocked seamlessly on the subfloor

What are floating floors? 

Have you ever heard of floating floors? Well, it is not your typical flooring. Floating floor installation does not require nails; instead, each board is locked to each other like a puzzle and is not attached to the sub-floor. 

But are they secure? At Croydon Floors, we prioritise the stability of your flooring. This stability is owed to both the collective weight of the planks and the friction between the underlayment. 

 

2 Common types of Floating Floor

Our floating floor installation can be either hardwood or laminate. These two may appear similar due to their outside resemblance. However, these flooring types possess distinct characteristics that set them apart. 

 

Real wood Flooring 

Real wood flooring is renowned for its simplicity and durability. Real wood flooring establishes a stable foundation within a space. Their appearance can rival that of oak timber flooring, giving you that timeless, elegant vibe without the hefty price tag. 

While its installation might pose a challenge for DIY projects due to the need for specialised tools and skills, the result is a timeless floor crafted from solid natural wood, adding warmth and character to any room.

 

 Laminate Flooring 

Laminate flooring stands out for its practicality and ease of installation. Featuring a clear plastic wear layer, it offers reliable protection against scratches and daily wear. 

Unlike hardwood, laminate floors adopt a floating installation method, requiring no fasteners for attachment to the subfloor, allowing for swift and straightforward placement. Its core material, made of fiberboard, contributes to its stability while providing flexibility and resistance to moisture, making laminate flooring an accessible and versatile choice for various spaces.

Choosing the right type of floating floor installation comes down to your budget and what you like. While comparing real wood and laminate is important, your decision depends on what you can afford and what style you prefer. Your choice is about balancing costs, looks, and what works best for you.
