Hello everyone! We want to install a new floor in our bedroom and are wondering if we could also lay laminate ourselves? So far, we have only laid carpet ourselves; we have no experience with laminate or parquet. Can you do it yourself, or does it have to be done by a professional?

hi, buy the click laminate, anyone can install it themselves, the individual strips are not glued together but only clicked into each other. This is much faster and when you move out you can simply take it with you again. You only need a saw and a bit of skill for it.

Hi, you can also inquire at the hardware store, because many stores offer seminars for people who want to do something themselves but have no idea how to do it. You can ask the experts there about all the tricks and tips and also try it out practically there. Then it will be much easier in your own home.

hi, if you buy the material at a specialist retailer, they can also explain to you there how to install it. Often you also get a DVD included that shows you how to do it. At least that was the case for me when I bought a sauna, it explained exactly how to assemble it. But you can manage laminate flooring without instructions if necessary.

We also installed the laminate ourselves and there are quite a few videos about it on Youtube. But the manufacturers also provide many instructions. The click laminate is easy to install and we took about 30 minutes per square meter. We were almost as good as the professionals.

That is correct and the manufacturers of the laminate also provided us with a video. Of course, there were also written instructions with various sketches. My husband quickly found his way around and everything worked out excellently.
