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 self-levelling compound can help to smooth out any dents and unevenness to create a flat 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 wonderful 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 even 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 vapor barrier. But we also have impact sound insulation that is already combined with a vapor barrier. You can recognize 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 go for our Silent Pro laminated insulating carpet pad. The tried-and-tested Silent Pro insulation carpet pad is applied to the underside of the individual laminate elements during production. You don't have to lay a separate insulating carpet pad and therefore complete two work steps in one. It's 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 floors in the Silent Pro version, i.e. with a laminated insulating carpet pad.

Our recommended insulating underlays for the floating installation of HARO laminate flooring on subfloors with or without underfloor heating:
Silent Pro
The high-quality impact sound insulation based on PUR with mineral fillers ensures the best sound behaviour. In addition to reducing room and impact sound, the high elasticity of the mineral fillers in Silent Pro insulation creates a pleasant forest floor effect: joints and spine are noticeably relieved. Silent Pro is also suitable for installation over underfloor heating
Silent Pro DS
The high-quality impact sound insulation based on PUR with mineral fillers ensures the best sound behaviour. In addition to reducing room and impact sound, the high elasticity of the mineral fillers in Silent Pro insulation creates a pleasant forest floor effect: joints and spine are noticeably relieved. Silent Pro is also suitable for installation over 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 with 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 realizing creative living ideas
What is the floor plan of the room? From which direction does the light enter the room? Why lay laminate towards the light?
To achieve an optimum result, 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.
Our tip:
With the HARO Visualizer, you can not only try out in advance which decor suits your furniture. You can also change the installation direction and quickly see how the room effect changes as a result.
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.

Laying laminate flooring with Silent CT
Please note the special installation instructions for HARO Silent CT laminate flooring. Here, the installation steps differ slightly.
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 meters of laminate can be laid without an expansion joint?
As a general rule, an expansion joint is required for rooms larger than 10x10 m 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.
Expansion joint, do I need it?
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 m) and in angled rooms.
Anything but ordinary
With HARO laminate, you can realize 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.
Skirting boards
Here you will find an overview of all skirting boards. Matching or contrasting aluminum floor profiles complete the look.
