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!

came out good, man!
Thanks for the information. It would be nice if more people commented on this topic. It’s not too confusing if you read and understand then please teach what your learning..
Great info! My wife and I need to replace some NASTY carpet in our bedroom and are considering this option. I’m voting YES! I would love to hear an update about how it is holding up.

Dang, Just re posted to get the comments via email.
@David thanks for the comment… my flooring is holding up pretty good I have a hyper dog and so far so good no scratches on it… i’ve even had some drink spills and no bowing of the wood or anything like that. I’m happy with the flooring i chose and for friends and family who saw the carpet we had before are very impressed with how the laminate wood looks throughout. Well if you do decide to go with the laminate please feel free to come back and link a photo..
