How easy is DIY Flooring to install?

There are many types of flooring that can be classed as “DIY friendly.” The main options we recommend for DIYers are Hybrid Flooring and Vinyl. Both are excellent choices for anyone looking to install their own new floor.

DIY flooring is quickly becoming a popular choice for Aussie homeowners because it saves money and can actually be a bit of fun! As long as you follow the correct installation practices, laying your own hybrid or vinyl floor is straightforward and achievable.

The main tip we give our customers is to make sure your subfloor is level, this will make the installation process much easier and ensure a better result.

Tools You Need to Install DIY Flooring

The beauty of hybrid flooring is that you don’t need many tools to install it. Once you get the hang of it, it’s straightforward to DIY and the tools are inexpensive. To cut hybrid flooring, you can use a sharp Stanley knife, or a drop saw if you want to speed things up. You’ll also need a rubber mallet for knocking the boards into place. For expansion joints around the edges of the room, spacers are essential, and a pull bar (special tool) will help bring the boards together neatly on the edges. That’s it — installing hybrid flooring really is that simple.

Vinyl is even easier. In most cases, all you’ll need is a Stanley knife, and if it’s not a loose-lay product, some adhesive to fix it down.

How much money do you save with DIY Flooring?

With DIY flooring, you’re not only saving heaps of money but also avoiding the hassle of booking an installation date and hunting around for the best installation price. When you install your own flooring, you can save up to double the cost of the actual product.

DIY flooring is definitely worth considering if you’re on a budget and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves. Depending on the installer, you could be charged anywhere from $25 to $40+ per square metre for hybrid or vinyl installation and that’s before any additional charges they might add on.

DIY flooring is a great option for smaller projects and for saving money. We don’t recommend taking on tricky rooms with lots of cuts, or very large areas, as those are usually best left to the professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. Hybrid flooring in most cases comes with a pre-attached underlay and is designed to “float” over existing flooring. This is why it’s such a great choice for DIY projects — there’s very little setup cost and it’s super easy to lay over an existing floor. As long as your floor is dry and level, there should be no issues with installation.

All of our hybrid flooring ranges come with pre-attached underlay, which means no extra underlay is required. This is another great benefit for DIY floorers, as it saves both time and money while keeping your project as simple and straightforward as possible. Be aware that some cheaper brands of hybrid flooring don’t include pre-attached underlay. for these, you’ll need to purchase underlay separately.

The time depends on the size of the room and your experience level. A simple room may take a day or less, while larger or more complex spaces can take a weekend.

Hybrid and vinyl flooring are waterproof, making them suitable for kitchens and laundries. Just be sure to seal expansion gaps with trims or scotia to prevent water from sitting underneath the floor.

When installed correctly and maintained properly, hybrid flooring can last 15–25 years, and vinyl flooring can last 10–20 years depending on the quality. Following care instructions helps extend their life, even with DIY installation.
