Quote: floating wood flooring installation
E.g.: click-lock floating wood flooring for a bedroom or living room
Floating means the wood flooring is not fixed directly to its substrate. It does not fully describe board construction or joint type. Confirm suitable wood flooring and the details allowing it to function around walls, doors and fixed fittings.
Confirm product and joint
Request reference, wood surface, finish and approved installation. Wood-effect laminate is a different product even when floated. Kährs documents several constructions; click-fit alone does not specify usable surface thickness or renovation potential.
Check the substrate before underlay
Assess stability, flatness, moisture and levels. Justify retaining any old finish. Match underlay to system and performance; it does not permit ignoring substrate defects. Check total height at doors and appliances.
Plan edges and fixed furniture
Kährs addresses movement at perimeters, doorways and fixed loads such as kitchen islands. Establish details for the actual product before ordering skirting and profiles. Do not restrain flooring with fixings or heavy built-ins without approval of the assembly.
Specify acoustic needs and heating
Distinguish noise within the room from transmission to neighbours, then request documented system performance. Check building-specific requirements. Buildwise highlights coordinating wood flooring and heating; acoustically selected underlay should not be assumed suitable without assessment.
Agree handover and possible removal
Agree junctions, door clearance and care. If later removal matters, request the intended method and limitations. Floating does not guarantee boards, joints or substrate remain intact after lifting or water damage.

Frequently asked questions
Does floating mean laminate?
No. Floating describes installation; laminate describes a flooring family. This page concerns wood flooring.
Can fitted kitchen units stand on it?
Check fixed loads and required movement. Do not restrain the floor without an approved detail.
Does underlay replace levelling?
Not automatically. The substrate must meet system requirements.
Is damage-free removal guaranteed?
No. Product, joints, condition and transitions determine that.
Is a wet kitchen suitable?
Check the exact permitted application and junctions; floating installation alone does not establish suitability.
