Frequently Asked Questions
How much extra laminate flooring should I buy?

What direction should laminate flooring run?
Laminate should typically run parallel to the longest wall or perpendicular to the main light source. This creates a more spacious appearance and shows fewer seams.
Do I need underlayment for laminate flooring?
