When the time comes to install your laminate flooring, there are a number of different tools that you will need to have acquired in order to complete the task successfully. All laminate flooring tools are designed so that they make the installation process that much easier.
In this article we will take a look at various different tools that you will need to help install an adhesive laminate floor. But the thing you must always remember when it comes to installing laminate flooring is that you follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter as well as use the tools that they recommend.
1. Tapping Block
This is used in order to lightly tap the two planks of laminate together and most of those available today will be designed to specifically fit in to a particular manufacturer's tongue and groove design. So it is important that when you buy your laminate flooring you also buy the right tapping block at the same time.
2. Pulling Bar
Whereas a tapping block is used to tap two planks of laminate flooring together, a person uses a pulling bar to pull them towards each other. However when using this particular tool you need to be careful to ensure that they do not scratch or chip the surface of the laminate flooring as you pull them towards each other.
3. Wedges or Spacers
These are used to help ensure that the minimum amount of space is left between the edge of the laminate flooring and the walls in your home. It is important that you look at the manufacturer's instructions as these will provide you with the exact spacing you need.
4. Glue (Adhesive)
In order for some laminate flooring planks to secure against each other properly a special glue (adhesive) will need to be used. Not only does it secure the planks together, but it also helps to prevent moisture from penetrating into the core of each plank.
5. Fillers and Sealants
There are some laminate flooring manufacturers who provide fillers and sealants which will co-ordinate with the laminate flooring you have purchased. The fillers are used to help seam gaps between each of the planks while the sealant is used around the edges of the room in order to prevent moisture gaining entry into the planks also.
There are many other laminate flooring tools that you may well need but in this particular article we have taken a look at what are considered to be the basic ones that any one will need should they decide to install laminate flooring themselves.
