Explore Laminate
Waterproof laminate made simple.
Learn how laminate works, where it fits, and why installation matters.
Floating Floor System
Laminate looks simple, but the details matter.
Laminate is usually a floating floor. The planks lock together over a prepared surface, so the product quality, locking system, expansion spacing, subfloor flatness, and finishing details are what make the installation feel right.

Installation Process
What Royal handles during laminate installation.
Every project is different, but the right process keeps the installation cleaner, tighter, and easier to understand before the work begins.
Measure and plan
We measure the rooms, review layout direction, transitions, doorways, stairs, closets, and existing flooring.
Move and remove
Furniture moving and existing floor removal can be included in the written project scope.
Prepare the subfloor
The surface is cleaned and reviewed for flatness, movement, debris, high spots, and installation concerns.
Install and finish
Laminate is installed with the right expansion spacing, underlayment when needed, trim details, and cleanup.
Subfloor Prep
The floor underneath matters because laminate floats.
Uneven areas, movement, debris, high spots, or poor prep can cause clicking, gaps, movement, or locking problems. Royal reviews the surface before installation so the laminate has the right foundation.

Laminate Questions
Quick answers before installation.
Laminate installation is easier to plan when you understand floating floors, underlayment, locking systems, waterproof products, and project scope.
Is laminate flooring a floating floor?
Yes. Most laminate flooring is installed as a floating floor. The planks lock together and float over the prepared surface instead of being nailed down like traditional hardwood.
Why does the locking system matter?
The locking system helps hold the laminate planks together. A weak or poorly installed locking system can lead to movement, separation, chipped edges, clicking, or gaps.
Does Royal offer waterproof laminate?
Yes. Royal helps customers choose waterproof, pet-proof, and kid-proof laminate options that make sense for the rooms, traffic, pets, and cleaning expectations in the home.
Does laminate need underlayment?
Some laminate products require underlayment, and some include attached pad. The right answer depends on the specific product, subfloor, room, and manufacturer instructions.
Will Royal move furniture and remove old flooring?
Furniture moving and floor removal can be included depending on the project scope. During the estimate, Royal reviews what needs to be moved, removed, prepared, and installed.
How long does laminate installation take?
Timing depends on square footage, furniture, floor removal, subfloor prep, layout details, stairs, transitions, and the number of rooms. Royal reviews the timeline during your estimate.
