Color groups are a guide: undertones shift with daylight and lamps, and one plank can sit in two groups. Pick up a free sample and look at it on your own floor.

How a floating laminate floor works.
Laminate boards lock to each other along all four edges and float over the subfloor. No glue, no nails, and a room can be done in a day.
The boards are connected to each other, not to the house, so the floor moves as one piece with the seasons. That is why it needs a small expansion gap at the walls, hidden by baseboard or quarter round, and a flat subfloor, within about 3/16 inch over 10 feet.
Floating also means a damaged board can be swapped out, and the floor can go over existing tile or sheet vinyl if they are flat and solid. Installed by our crews, click lock laminate starts at $6.10 per sqft in the Sacramento area.
Floating laminate over what you have now.
Over concrete: a 6 mil vapor barrier, then float. Over plywood or OSB: float directly once squeaks and loose spots are screwed down. Over tile or sheet vinyl: float on top if it is flat and solid. Over carpet: never, it comes out first.
Because the floor floats, heavy fixed items should not pin it down: kitchen islands and built-ins stay in place and the floor stops at them with trim. Furniture is fine, it simply rests on top. Door jambs are undercut so the boards slide underneath instead of being scribed around.

Click lock (floating) questions, answered straight.
Is click lock laminate easy to install?
It is one of the easiest floors to DIY. Door jambs, stairs and the last row against a wall are the slow parts.
Can click lock laminate go over tile?
Usually, if the tile is flat and solid. Deep grout lines get a skim coat first.
Does floating laminate sound hollow?
Less with a good pad. KONO Harbor has a 2 mm pad attached for that reason.
