What Is The Best Floating Laminate Floor?
February 27th, 2010 | 
Author: We just ripped the carpet out of our basement and really wanted hardwood but once we found out that our only choices were engineered or bamboo we started to look into laminates. We have been looking at lumber Liquidators. We want something economical but a good enough quality that it isnt immediatly obvious that it is laminate. Any suggestions for a floor that locks together tightly and has a good sound too it when walked on? Also is cork the best underlayment for a floating floor? Or should we opt for a quiet walk type underlayment with the moisture barrier? Thanks any advice will be much appreciated.
Floating Floor Versus Gluing Down?
We have a huge basement that we have bamboo flooring to lay down on. The question is…I heard that floating the floor will actually devalue the house because it is a cheap way to do the floors. Is this true and we have a cement slab to install the flooring on…how would you do it?
Installation Of Floating Floor?
I am nearing completion of construction for my own new 2 story home. On the 2nd floor, I am planning to install a floating bamboo floor (5/8″ stranded type) over gypcrete (lightweight concrete floor poured over radiant in-floor heat tubing. I think I can handle most everything, but I am not certain what the best option(s) is for running the floating floor into the staircase which goes down to the first floor. In the rest of the house, the edge of the floating floor will get covered by baseboard, but at the top step, there is no such option. Does anyone have suggestions as to the best way to deal with this?
One more thing – it’s tongue and groove and I was planning to glue the boards together. I already have the flooring and there are stairnosings I have with a groove on them which I was planning on assembling with the planks to cover the stairs too.
