My Installation of IKEA Laminate Floor Process

As I mentioned before I’m in the process of installing IKEA Laminate flooring (link). I started the DIY process this past Friday night (May 9th). Below are the steps that I’ve taken so far as well as what I have left to complete the job… I’m probably about 85% complete with the laminate floor installation project.

Step 1.) I moved as much furniture out of the room. [complete]
Step 2.) Pull up the base boards around the room. [complete]
Step 3.) Pull up and cut the carpet into sections small enough to place into large trash bags. [complete]
Step 4.) Pull up and cut the carpet padding into small enough to place into large trash bags. [complete]
Step 5.) Tape board spacers onto wall to guide the laminate wood along the wall (seen in photo w/blue tape). [complete]
Step 6.) Place installation / padding board onto floor then tape them together. [complete]
Step 7.) Start to lay down laminate flooring from one side to another and cut where needed. The angle in my living room suck to cut as well as around door ways! [incomplete still needs about 1/4 of the room to fill]
Step 8.) Place the trim /border along the bottom of the floor. I’m going to go with a 4 inch version this time. The previous owners had the cheap 2 inch stuff throughout the whole place. [incomplete]

To fully complete steps 7 & 8 I must continue my IKEA laminate floor installation project next weekend. So be sure to check back next weekend to catch a glimpse of the completed laminate floor.Similar Posts:

I went to the Orlando IKEA store today to check out their laminate flooring and furniture. Reason being I’m looking to replace the carpet in about 85% of my house. A while ago I replace the flooring in my office which was a pain. However, from learning what I now know about installing laminate floors I feel a little more confident to do more rooms in my house. Here is the laminate flooring I plan to buy from IKEA… It’s called SLÄTTEN it’s a new laminate floor they have at IKEA. It’s priced at a very affordable price: ($16.09 per box / 24.757 sq feet / Price per sq feet: $0.64). When I tried to shop at any of the local hardware stores the lowest price per sq foot was in the range of ($1.11-$1.47). Well I guess it pays to shop around… IKEA is a great place to find deals!
