BHK Brazilian Rosewood

Q: I’m interested in the Brazilian Rosewood BKH Laminate by Moderna SoundGuard and would like to know if this type of flooring is the easiest to install. I plan on installing it diagonally but am not sure if my husband and I will be able to do it ourself?
A: Laminate is the easiest of all wood floor types to install. Although floating floors are easy to install, there is a learning curve to getting used to each type of locking mechanism. Be prepared for a bit of hassle for your first row or two, but afterward it should be pretty easy to lay down the floor and should be easily accomplished as a “weekend warrior” project.
What I will warn you about here is that installing at a diagonal is the hardest installation out there. Unless you are fairly familiar with installing floors I would suggest avoiding this type of installation. The big thing about installing at a diagonal is accounting for additional waste from cuts and a need for about 15-20% additional product or more (instead of the usual 10%) when installing at a diagonal.
If you are dead set on installing at a diagonal, make sure you spend plenty of time measuring and preparing your install. Measure twice before you cut once and be ready for a much longer install.
