Stages of work
There are several ways of laying a laminate, but they all have a number of rules that you need to adhere to the laminate with your own hands:
- You can not use this material in rooms with high humidity, so it is better for the bathroom to pick up a different material.
- The floor must be dry and hard, also flat. For the standard, the following characteristic is taken: the height difference is not more than 3 mm per square meter.
- On the concrete floor, it is necessary first to lay a plastic film, on it an epoxy material, and then lay the laminate.
It is necessary to lay the laminate properly using the following technology:
1. The substrate must be stitched, not overlapped. Joints are connected with simple paint tape.
2. The boards are laid in two ways - perpendicular to the walls and at an angle. The choice depends on the design idea. However, here it is worth considering the important facts - laminate should be placed parallel to the light source, otherwise joints will be visible, and this will not look very nice. 
3. It is important to ensure that
4 does not fall into the butt-end of the joint. 4. Laminate can be easily laid on a large area without interference, but difficult areas can be difficult, for example, near the door or at the location of pipes. The option with the door will be simple if it is not already installed and the surface is flat. If the door is already there - it is necessary to cut into the shape of the door frame, but very carefully, there should not be a gap. With the pipes you need to limit the place of their passage. The first thing to do is to drill a hole, and then cut a thin saw from the center of the hole.
5. The material can be stacked on one board, then they are attached to each other along their entire length. You can strengthen it in this way if the work is done by one person, without help. 
The second rule of laminate laying is the installation of strips. Fastening occurs on narrow ends, and not on wide, as in the previous method.
This is the main technology for installing laminate. There are no others as such. Except for absolutely problematic areas for styling, but in this case an unlikely person does not work, and a team of specialists is hired.
Tools
The list of tools is simple enough:
- Saw
- Hammer
- A bar damping, or the edge of a laminate panel.
- Teeth with fine teeth. Also suitable jigsaw.
Putting laminate is easier than it might seem. Performing these works will not take long, and the result will be truly beautiful. After all, this material can be applied in almost any style of apartment or house. The most important thing is not to forget about polyethylene film that acts as a waterproofing agent and correctly put the substrate. You can buy all the materials in one place, which is also a big advantage. Put the laminate with your own hands will not be difficult if you adhere to these rules
Separately, it should be said about the leveling of the floor - for this you need to remove all the layers that existed before, and get to the concrete base. Clean the place and start the project. Floors from a laminate can be used in a drawing room, a bedroom, a dining room. But do not use this method of flooring in the kitchen or in the bathroom.
