HIGH-TRAFFIC LAMINATE FLOORING

Commercial-grade laminate flooring built for durability.

Laminate flooring has to survive daily foot traffic, rolling loads, and Seattle's humidity swings without gapping or peaking. Here's our completed laminate flooring work, along with what we think matters most before your project starts.

Before You Renovate

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND FOR YOUR LAMINATE PROJECT

Acclimation Prevents Gapping

Laminate needs to acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity before installation. Skipping this step is the top cause of gapping or buckling months later.

Subfloor Flatness & Underlayment

An uneven subfloor telegraphs through laminate over time. We check flatness and use the right underlayment for sound dampening and moisture protection.

Moisture Barriers on Concrete

Installing over a concrete slab requires a proper vapor barrier — without it, moisture wicking up through the slab will damage the flooring from below.

Expansion Gaps Around the Perimeter

Laminate floats and needs room to expand. We leave code-correct expansion gaps at every wall and transition so the floor doesn't buckle under seasonal movement.

Transitions Between Rooms

Proper transition strips at doorways and flooring changes aren't just cosmetic — they protect the plank edges and keep the floor performing long-term.

Traffic-Grade Matters for Commercial Use

Not all laminate is rated for high-traffic commercial use. We spec AC ratings appropriate to how the space will actually be used.

How We Work

OUR LAMINATE PROCESS

01

Subfloor Inspection

We check flatness, moisture levels, and address any repairs before flooring goes down.

02

Acclimation

Material is allowed to acclimate to the space's temperature and humidity.

03

Underlayment & Vapor Barrier

The right underlayment is installed based on subfloor type and sound requirements.

04

Precision Installation

Planks are installed with correct expansion gaps and staggered seams for strength.

05

Trim & Transitions

Baseboards and transition strips are finished for a clean, professional edge.
