Step 1
Measure the floor
The easiest way to make the first step is to measure the property and to take pictures of the current flooring. It will save a lot of time and help you make decisions and negotiate with fitters.
Step 2
Choose the new flooring
Then it would be best if you decided what the new flooring would be. The most important thing is determining what colour pattern you prefer because the same effect can be available with laminate, engineered wood, or parquet.
Step 3
Get the new floorboards delivered
At this point, you need to order the floorboards and all the necessary materials. You have two choices at this stage:
- decide by yourself;
- consult with the fitters;
The second option is much more recommended.
Step 4
Hire a fitter
You can choose to hire an expert and prepare yourself to do the the entire job. Everything has pros and cons, but in most cases it depends on the budget.
Step 5
Start the installation
The fitting start - when all materials and floorboards are delivered, the actual installation can start. It may be necessary to acclimatize the floorboards for some time (it's vital for some wood types).
Step 6
Get the job done
Enjoy the new floor and relax from the comfort of your renovated place.
Conclusion:
Briefly, that's the entire process. It works for partial or complete installation. However, with partial, you need to find the exact type of floorboards, and it may become a bit more complex.
