Laminated flooring is laid as a floating floor which means that the boards do not need to be nailed or screwed down, instead the tongues and grooves are clicked together without the need for glue. It should be laid at a room temperature of 18 deg C on a dry flat surface. Before installing, the flooring should be stored horizontally in its original packaging for at least 48 hours at a temperature of 17 to 22 deg C.
