Laminate flooring is not only an attractive addition to your home, it is also quite easy to clean and maintain. In addition, laminate flooring tends to be more durable against scratching and wear than hardwood floors, and often looks almost exactly the same. The following is a review of Harmonics Laminate Flooring sold exclusively at Costco.

Installation of Harmonics Laminate Flooring
Harmonics Laminate flooring utilizes the tongue-in-groove method for installation, meaning that each piece will simply click into the next piece. Installation of Harmonics Laminate Flooring is especially difficult for the first couple of rows, until you have more resistance to work against. In addition, the thicker width and long length of Harmonics Laminate flooring makes it slightly more difficult to maneuver than thinner, shorter laminate strips. However, once you get the hang of it, clicking the pieces together will be easier. In addition, the use of a tapping block will ensure that the Harmonics Laminate Flooring boards are completely locked into place.
It is important to install your floors in cooler weather and not during the hot summer months as I personally found out. Because boards naturally expand in the heat, it will make snapping them together next to impossible. Also, be sure to carefully follow the directions found inside each container of Harmonics Laminate Flooring. If you find them difficult to read or lose the directions, you can quickly download them from the Harmonics Laminate Flooring website.
To make the installation of your Harmonics Laminate Flooring even more convenient, Harmonics offers an installation kit that includes a plastic moisture barrier, tapping block, spacers, and a tapping bar. The useful and inexpensive installation kit makes installing your Harmonics Laminate Flooring even more simple.
