DIY Tips For Installing A Floor

Here is a example of basic floor installation. Just to give you idea of what the steps are for removing an old floor and replacing it with a new one.


1. Once you have selected a new flooring to install, evaluate your existing floor to determine whether you can install the new flooring over it.                         


                                                                                        



2. If necessary, remove the existing flooring to provide a sound surface for your new floor installation.                                                                         
                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                             





3. Install the appropriate type of underlayment for your floor covering.



4. Lay out your installation. For resilient or ceramic tile, establish layout lines that divide the room into quadrants. For sheet vinyl, create a template of the room perimeter. For carpet, determine the positions of seams.
                                                                                                    


5. Install your floor covering using the appropriate techniques: resilient flooring, ceramic tile, hardwood flooring, and carpet
