FAQs – DIY Friendly Flooring

1. What makes flooring DIY-friendly?

DIY-friendly flooring uses a click-lock system that allows planks to connect easily without nails or glue. This system is designed for quick, mess-free installation — perfect for homeowners who want to save on labour while achieving a professional look.

2. Can I install hybrid flooring myself?

Yes, hybrid flooring is one of the easiest types to install yourself. The planks lock securely into place, creating a floating floor that can go over most existing surfaces. Just make sure the subfloor is level and clean before starting.

3. Do I need special tools to install DIY flooring?

No specialised tools are required. Most DIY flooring projects only need a tape measure, utility knife or saw, spacers, and a rubber mallet. You can complete most rooms with basic home tools.

A standard living room or bedroom can often be completed in a single day. Because there’s no glue or drying time involved, you can walk on your new floors immediately after installation.
