Perth DIY Flooring Made Simple
Installing your own flooring in Perth is easier than you might think when you have the right products and guidance. At Floors of Distinction, we offer bamboo, hybrid, laminate, and prefinished engineered timber — all suitable for DIY installation.
Key Steps for a Successful DIY Installation:
Check Your Subfloor: Ensure it’s clean, dry, level, and stable. WA standards recommend a maximum deviation of 3mm over 1 metre. Concrete subfloors may require a moisture barrier.
Acclimatise Your Flooring: Leave boards in the room for at least 48 hours to adjust to temperature and humidity.
Install Underlay: Use the recommended underlay for your product to improve comfort and soundproofing.
Fit Boards Carefully: Leave expansion gaps around the room, stagger joints, and use spacers, tapping blocks, and pull bars for a snug fit.
Finishing Touches: Cover expansion gaps with skirtings, trims, or staircase nosings for a polished, professional look.
Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Floors of Distinction provides advice, but proper installation and compliance with WA standards is the responsibility of the installer to ensure warranty conditions are met.
