OnFlooring | Floor Decor Made Easy

Floating floors provide a unique alternative to conventional flooring. Unlike traditional flooring, which requires glue or nails to attach it to the subfloor, floating flooring does not need to be attached to the ground. Instead, the planks or tiles interlock with each other and sit on top of an underlay. The individual pieces connect with a locking mechanism

You might be wondering how the floor stays in place if it's not attached to anything. Because the flooring is heavy, the weight is dispersed across a wide area when the panels are connected to each other, making the panels act as one big, heavy, flat object.

Floating floors can be installed on, above, or below grade and on many types of subfloors, including concrete and plywood. Additionally, they can be installed on top of existing hard flooring, such as stone, ceramic tile, sheet vinyl, and vinyl tile, as long as the existing flooring is flat and stable. Although floating floors can produce a slightly more hollow sound than glued or nailed flooring, this is a subjective preference. If you prefer a more solid sound, an upgraded sound control underlay can help.

Floating floors are relatively easy to install and have become popular with do-it-yourself homeowners. This popularity was fueled in part by the introduction of laminate floors to America in the mid-90s. Since then, interlocking floating floors have expanded into hardwood, bamboo, cork, and vinyl. At OnFlooring, we believe that interlocking floating floors are the best choice for do-it-yourself projects and primarily offer this type of flooring.
