What is important to know when installing a laminate floor?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) February 18th, 2015

My husband is planning to install click lock laminate wood flooring in our dining and living room. He’s never done this before so we want to know some basics before we begin this journey.

Do we need to purchase the laminate that comes with pre-attached padding? If we do not purchase that kind, will we still need to purchase the padding separately? Is the moisture barrier underlayment an additional purchase as well and if so, is that a necessary thing?

Feel free to add any suggestions or personal experiences!
