Engineered and laminate floors are now being manufactured using a technology that allows the floor to float over the subfloor.

Relatively new in North America, floating-floor technology is an evolution of the traditional tongue and groove system for joining hardwood floor strips. The term floating refers to the fact the floor in not glued or nailed down to the subfloor. Instead the boards are clicked together and the floor floats over the subfloor. Each floating strip has a hooked tongue on one side and a slotted groove on the other side so that the pieces click and lock together for a seamless joint.

Floating-floors systems come in a wide variety of styles and colors with endless colors to suit any decor. Available in durable laminates that mimic hardwood and stone, natural cork with it's variety of rich textures and colors, timeless, elegant hardwood and even hard wearing linoleum.

Floating floors are an easy project for the DIY. Once the installation is complete, your new floor is ready to walk on.
