Well I mentioned about a month back that I was only 85% complete with the installation of my IKEA laminate flooring. As of this past weekend I have completed about 98% of the full floor installation. I’ve added the baseboards and finished painting the walls. The only 2% of work I have left is connecting the area where the laminate floor hits the tile or carpeted areas (which shouldn’t be too bad).

My experience with the installation of the SLÄTTEN IKEA laminate floors was pretty good. However, I over bought when it came to the boxes of laminate floor planks. I purchased 28 boxes and only needed 15 + 1 for later use if needed. So I ended up having to return the other 12 boxes which wasn’t too bad.

When it came to the padding under the laminate floor I opted for Fiberboard… the NIVÅ Floor liner. Only for the simple fact that I recently put in laminate floors in my home office and used foam padding under the laminate flooring and in my opinion the foam padding made my floor echo a bit more.

Below is a video that I found to be a bit detailed on how much work goes into installing IKEA laminate flooring the Do it Yourself way. Looking to buy some IKEA Laminate Flooring for yourself..? Get a $500 Gift Card to shop at IKEA!
