Does laminate floor need to be acclimate before installation?
Comments (0)I ordered columbia laminate floor. My contractor will pick them up the day before the installation. Does laminate floor also need to be acclimated? If yes, how long? Is putting in the garage before installation be fine? If I need to put them in the house, do I need to turn air conditioning on? I am living in the bay area and the temperature now is between 63F--83F. Thank you very much.

Comments (6)The manufacturere of my Mom's floor product recommend "Ardex" or "Mapei". They also recommend something with a compressive strength of 3500 PSI or greater. This was in part to level the slab and also to cover the old adhesive. I oversaw a gallery renovation where we wanted sealed concrete floors so we had to grind them down - messy and not fun. I can see why you might need to take down the hump but overall levelling by grinding the slab would never be my first choice....See MoreNeed help with choosing laminated wood flooring for 2nd floor townhome
Comments (9)What ??? If I understand tile is on the main floor and this questio is for the seconf floor where the bedrooms are.I think it will depend on the color of the tile on the lower floor as you will be having the 2 floors meet at the bottom of the stairs. Some pictures would be abig help BTW. Maybe look a vinyl plank and do the stirs in a tile to match the lower floor I awys thin stairs look best done to match the lower level and then the floor cange change at the top of the stairs. We need pictures of the furniture too....See MoreI need help with choosing a laminate floor color that won’t clash.
Comments (13)If you go with wood look I would lean towards a medium to darker floor... A tone similar to the dark knots in the wall..... It could look really nice, just have to be more careful when pairing a fake wood floor up against a real wood.... It can be done, just take your time and maybe take an extra wall board with good color variation to help you select a right match. The colors in this floor are nice as it gives you more options with a blend of medium and darker tones......See MoreCancork Floor Inc.
