Want to DIY on your next home renovation but not sure if you're ready?
We've put together this multiple choice quiz to help you discern if you've got what it takes.
What is a subfloor?
The bottom most structure of the floor, right on top of the joists.
The padding underneath the carpet.
The foam pad underneath laminate flooring.
The basement floor.
What type of saw blade should you use to cut laminate?
A fine tooth finishing blade.
A blade with fewest teeth possible.
A carbide tipped blade with many teeth.
A 24 tooth lumber ripping blade.
Why should you leave a gap between laminate / luxury vinyl plank flooring and the wall?
So the water can drain.
Air gap to keep air flow moving.
Crumb collection.
Expansion room.
What’s the best way to secure a plywood / OSB subfloor?
Nails!
Screws!
Glue!
None (floating floor)
Can you install laminate flooring over the carpet?
No.
Only if you use a vapour barrier first.
Only if you trim the carpet length.
Depends on the carpet.
How much extra flooring should you get?
None. Measure once, buy once.
At least double.
10-15% extra.
Square footage x saw size x DIY level.
Why would a laminate floor squeak when walking on it?
Uneven subfloor causing boards to rub.
Too much glue.
Not enough glue.
Laminate floors don’t squeak.
Do you need to remove baseboards to install laminate or luxury vinyl plank flooring?
No, you slide the flooring under them.
Yes.
Only one side that you can’t slide flooring under.
No, you just trim off the bottom.
Why do you need to let your new flooring acclimate before installing?
So flooring expands or shrinks to the standard temperature and humidity of your home before you install.
So your flooring absorbs the smell of your home before installing.
So you can get familiar with the colouring before you install.
So you can ensure the flooring is delivered before you install.
