Installation is as important as the product itself
Some even go so far as to say it’s more important than the product. Here are just some things that can go wrong.
First, know the difference between floating and non-floating floors. Floating floors are held in place by weight and friction, and they usually click together and are DIY-friendly. An example would be luxury vinyl.
If not careful, chipping, denting and contamination with mold and mildew can happen.
Non-floating floors are carpet, hardwood and ceramic tile and they require special tools, skills and often subfloor preparation.

- If not stretched and measured properly, carpet can wrinkle, become loose or jut out from the wall.
- Hardwood can cup, crown or gap.
- Tile is heavy and difficult and requires a special saw to cut it, and there’s no going back if there’s a mistake in creating the pattern.
Expertise is key
The professionals have been doing it a long time, so they have the kind of knowledge needed to foresee possible problems, avoid them, and handle them if they happen anyway.
Even if you choose to DIY the project, consult with a professional if you have concerns.

Don’t dismiss the importance of product
A good installation starts before you walk into the store because the flooring needs to be in line with your style, goals, challenges, budget, and lifestyle. One of the biggest mistakes is buying the flooring for your needs.
