Floating Floor Installation - Lerma
Tarima flotante is the most requested flooring solution in Burgos because it installs quickly and can be laid over most existing floors. Before fitting a single board, we measure the relative humidity of the subfloor and the material, let the packs acclimatise in the room for at least 48 hours, and decide between a click or glued-down system depending on the product and the intended use of the room. Professional floating floor, parquet, vinyl and laminate flooring services in Lerma: installation, sanding and varnishing, repair, skirting boards and flooring for staircases and underfloor heating, with careful preparation, material acclimatisation and a written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tarima flotante cost per m² in Burgos?
Prices vary with the laminate class or wood type chosen, the state of the subfloor and whether removal of the old floor is needed. We visit the property and give a closed price per square metre before starting.
Does the flooring need to acclimatise before installation in Burgos?
Yes. Because of the marked temperature and humidity swings between the Burgos winter and summer, we leave the packs unopened in the room for at least 48 hours so the material reaches the room’s conditions before fitting.
Is click or glued-down installation better?
Click systems are faster, cleaner and easier to repair board by board. Glued-down installation offers a more solid feel underfoot and is sometimes required for certain engineered wood products or heavy furniture areas. We recommend the option that suits the room.
Can floating floor be installed in a kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the product and the exposure to water. Some laminate and vinyl-core products tolerate occasional splashes, but standing water is always a risk for wood-based flooring. We assess the room before recommending a material.
