How to lay and install laminate flooring in a hallway

Installing a floor in a hallway is slightly different from installing one in a square lounge due to the narrow space and multiple doorways.

  • Preparation: Because hallways often lead into several other rooms, ensure your subfloor is perfectly level. Use a high-quality underlay to dampen the sound of footsteps.
  • The Click Factor: Most of our ranges use a simple click-to-fit system. In a hallway, it is often easiest to work from one side to the other, but pay close attention to your doorways; you may need to undercut your door frames so the laminate can slide underneath for a professional, seamless finish.
  • Expansion: Even in a small space, don't forget the 10mm expansion gap around the edges. This allows the floor to breathe without buckling.

How to lay laminate flooring in a narrow hallway

If you want to make a cramped space feel bigger, the direction of the planks is key. For a narrow hallway, we usually recommend laying the planks lengthways (running away from the door). This draws the eye forward, creating an optical illusion that makes the corridor feel much longer and more open. If the hallway is exceptionally long and thin, laying the boards across the width can help "push" the walls out, making the space feel more balanced and less like a tunnel.

Do you need to stagger laminate flooring in a hallway?

Yes, and it is a vital step for both strength and style. You should never have the ends of the planks lining up row after row. Staggering the joints (usually by at least 30cm) ensures that the floor is structurally sound and that the click locks are properly supported. It also creates a much more natural, authentic wood floor appearance.

Top Tip: Use the off-cut from the end of your first row to start your second row—this reduces waste and naturally creates a staggered pattern.
