How to install wood flooring. This method could be used to lay just about any floating flooring product. The laminate flooring used here is a bamboo wood floor product that is actually not wood at all. It contains a protected (bamboo image) veneer layer. As you will see, when installed, the laminate flooring looks exactly like natural bamboo. Kistel demonstrates that this type of floor installation is easy and requires a few simple tools and a table saw.

you so hot………
Jesse, it would depend on many variables. I would contact the manufactures of the both the flooring and the heating systems for their installation recommendations.
Thanks for the video! Getting ready to do a bedroom. You used a table saw and I was wondering if a chop saw would be OK too. Would you then put the finished side up or down?
What’s the name of that black “handy tool” you use around 7:10?
Great video. I have a concrete floor like yours in my hallway that I’m wanting to lay wood laminate (click) planks on. I removed the old carpet, padding and pried the wood furring strips around the edges up, but when I removed the nails holding the strips down, sometimes it took a bit of the concrete with it. Did you fill and level off the little places on your concrete where you removed the nails or is that necessary? If so, what product should I use? The wood laminate planks I’ll be using don’t have padding attached so I’m laying using an underlayment plus a sheet of moisture/vapor barrier. Thanks for your help!
Great video! very helpful information! Thanks!!
Why do you rip the edge of the laminate flooring when you first put it down?
@funatlgirl
Thanks! If you use a laminate product I encourage you to get as thick a product as possible. The flooring in this video is marketed at 12mm thick and came with a pre-attached padding underlayment.
this video was radical. and it will help me install a floor tomorrow. thank you
wait you uploaded this in tiger bay? wtf
Thanks for watching.
amazing video just what I need what was that tool you were using too put against the planks when you hammer them in??
This is a very helpful video that have ever seen on floating hardwood floor installation. Thank You
@Eiger19 … The edges of this type of flooring have either a tongue or groove which would look unsightly if the floor molding was not large enough to cover. The ends are cut to make sure the molding will be large enough to cover the offset between the flooring and the wall (for expansion).
Thanks! You quickly clarified several points that I did not quite understand from other videos.
Where am I going wrong,
I’ve got the tongue side facing the wall, cut the tongue off the first row as per manufacturer instruction, got my 3/8 expansion gap all the way around but the planks wont lock properly in the third row, tap one side in the other side pops out a bit, I suspect that maybe the first 2 rows are bowed somehow do you think that is my problem?

You look a bit like Shia Le boof 😉
When installing laminate flooring over cement, you need to check for level with a 4′ or 6′ level. If you are more than 1/4″ off over 4′ or 3/8″ off over 6′, you probably want to level it out with portland cement. If you don’t you will find slight dips as you walk along the floor. You’d be amazed how many floors are lipped at the edges and have mounds in the middle. Recently, I found a floor with about a 1/4″ over 4-6′ from the edge. That’s hard to see. Then it was almost perfect for about 4′. Near the center of the floor was a 1/4″ mound about 2′ in diameter, about 4′ to the bottom in most places. The customer said “it is fine”. I’d say it was marginal, not wrong, but not great either. I had them sign off on that it wouldn’t be perfect to cover my butt. It came out good, but not my best install either.
I made it myself thanks to Woodprix website.
Great video! I kind of feel confident now to install the floor in my son’s room by myself. I like that you showed how to install those end planks.
great short, precise instructions
Awesome! How do you transition the floor unto the hallway and other rooms??
Great assistance, thank you for the tips in the corners.
What do you call the “HANDY TOOL” so I can buy one
Excellent video! You have now given me the confidence I needed to get the flooring down in our dining room! Thank you thank you!!!
Thanks . I’m off to help a friend who gave up .
