Discover the whole variety for yourself now: decide on the right series, choose your favourite decor and lay the laminate flooring yourself with the Top Connect installation system - as easy as pressing a button.

Thanks to the innovative Top Connect installation system, you can install our laminate flooring yourself quickly and easily - and remove it just as easily when you move house. All without any tools. Simply angle the plank in, push it against the previously laid plank and press it down. And you're done. As quick as the installation is, your installed floor will be a perfect fit and retain its shape. Also suitable for underfloor heating and cooling systems.

Ideal for all living spaces - perfect for your sense of well-being

Before you start, take a close look at the room in which you want to lay your laminate flooring: What is the subfloor like? Is there underfloor heating? A levelling compound can help to smooth out any dents and unevenness, which will automatically create a level surface. Foil for moisture protection and footfall sound insulation complete the subfloor.

Laying laminate flooring with the click system is so easy. You can lay laminate flooring with almost no tools, without a hammer, tapping block or pull bar - just a saw to cut the planks.

Pleasantly quiet

In the morning rush, the cutlery falls off the table, in the afternoon the dog romps happily across the floor and late at night the living room turns into a dance floor. How wonderful when a home is full of life - and how marvellous when your laminate absorbs disturbing noises and ensures a pleasant room sound climate. The best way to achieve this is with impact sound insulation. Insulation underlays are generally recommended for all hard subfloors. They increase elasticity, insulate room and impact sound and level out any unevenness in the floor. We make it particularly easy for you with your HARO laminate. You can choose from different variants. This is brand quality and added value, made in Germany:

Traditionally, impact sound insulation is rolled out on a PE film as an additional vapour barrier. But we also have impact sound insulation that is already combined with a vapour barrier. You can recognise these by the suffix "DS". This means you only have to roll out one layer under your new laminate flooring.

Want to make things even easier and more comfortable?

Then why not opt for our Silent Pro laminated insulating underlay? The tried-and-tested Silent Pro insulation underlay is applied to the underside of the individual laminate elements during production. You don't have to lay a separate insulating underlay and therefore complete two work steps in one. This is faster, more convenient and even easier!

And best of all - you don't have to make any compromises. From an order quantity of 10m², you can also order all HARO laminate flooring in the Silent Pro version, i.e. with a laminated insulating underlay.

Our recommended insulating underlays for the floating installation of HARO laminate flooring on subfloors with or without underfloor heating:

Alternatively, you can also use our quietest laminate flooring - HARO laminate with Silent CT. With the innovative Silent CT technology, your HARO laminate is up to 60% quieter than conventional laminate flooring. Thanks to the HARO innovation ComforTec for complete fixation using adhesive strips, laying a laminate with Silent CT differs slightly from the process described - but is just as easy. You can find more information about Silent CT here.

Laying laminate and realising creative living ideas

What is the layout of the room? Which direction does the light in the room come from? Why lay laminate towards the light?

To achieve optimum results, the laying direction should always follow the incidence of light. This makes the connecting joints less noticeable - however, if they are at right angles to the main light source, any changes will be more visible. You can also influence the visual effect of the room through the laying direction - narrow rooms appear wider, for example, if the planks follow the short side, while they stretch the room even further along the long side.

You can find many more valuable tips on perfect preparation and planning, even for very large rooms and for mineral subfloors, in the detailed step-by-step instructions and videos.

Perfectly laid from the first row

Laying laminate - where do I start?

For optimum installation of our Top Connect installation system, start with the first row in the right-hand corner of the room. Please remember the expansion gap to both walls.

How do you lay laminate flooring at the edges or corners?

Use practical spacers (spacer wedges) to ensure the correct spacing. This ensures a perfect floating installation from the wall. Angle in the other rows of planks lengthways so that they can then be locked at the ends with little effort.

Why lay laminate flooring offset?

Always consider laying the planks offset. This not only looks better, but also gives the flooring more stability in the long term.

Once the floor has been laid after the last row of laminate, simply remove the spacer wedges, attach the skirting boards and you have a perfect floor - ready for immediate use and just as easy to remove if you move house.

Expansion joint in the floor area, for large rooms

How many square metres of laminate can be laid without an expansion joint?

As a general rule, an expansion joint is required for rooms larger than 10x10 metres and for all L-, T- and U-shaped floor plans. An expansion joint in the screed also requires an expansion joint in the laminate at this point.

These specifications also apply when laying HARO laminate with Silent CT.

Do I need an expansion joint?

Did you actually know that? The term "expansion joint" has become established in common parlance. The technically correct term is "expansion joint".

Regardless of the wording, the technical sense remains. This is because floors with wood content "work". This means that the individual element swells and shrinks depending on the temperature and humidity. And in the sum of a laid surface, this can lead to the floor surface resting against the wall and thus lifting. For this reason, it is also important to separate the sub-areas with transition rails in large areas (larger than 10 x 10 metres) and in angled rooms.

Anything but ordinary

With HARO laminate, you can realise living ideas to suit your personal taste - from classic and traditional to modern, creative and unusual. Our original HARO skirting boards provide a beautiful finish along the wall. These are available in various shapes and textures, with or without moisture protection and also in contrasting variants such as white.
