Learn how to lay laminate flooring with snap-together wood. It's so easy to install that you can lay a beautiful, durable hardwood floor in a weekend—no messy glue and no heavy nailing required. It's prefinished too, so no dusty sanding or painstaking finish work. In this article, we'll show you how to prepare your floor and then lay the boards. It's the perfect project for the novice with basic carpentry skills.

Snap-together floors have specially milled tongues and grooves that lock together tightly when joined. The flooring we’re using is similar to snap-together plastic laminate floors but features a surface layer of real wood. The 5/16-in. thick snap flooring has specially shaped tongues and grooves that interlock to form a strong, tight joint without glue or nails. Once the click-lock laminate flooring is assembled, the entire floor "floats" in one large sheet. You leave a small expansion space all around the edges so the floor can expand and contract with humidity changes.

The cost of wood veneer floors (often called engineered wood floors) varies depending on the species and thickness of the top wood layer. While most home centers sell a few types of snap-together floors, you’ll find a better selection and expert advice at your local flooring retailer. You can also buy snap flooring online to start your laminate floor installation project.
Before shopping, draw a sketch of your room with dimensions. Take note of transitions to other flooring types and features like stair landings and exterior doors. Ask your salesperson for help choosing the right transition moldings for these areas.
You’ll need a few special tools in addition to basic hand tools like a tape measure, square, and utility knife. A laminate flooring installation kit, which includes plastic shims, a tapping block, and a last-board puller, is very helpful. If you’re handy, you could fabricate these tools yourself. A pull saw is excellent for undercutting doorjambs and casing; it’s difficult to get close enough to the floor with a standard handsaw.
You’ll also need a circular saw and a jigsaw to cut the flooring, and a miter box to cut the shoe molding. While a table saw and power miter saw can make your installation job easier, they aren’t necessary. For detailed cutting and finishing guidelines, Pp Interlocking Flooring offers great resources.
