Q: We were looking at installing hardwood floors and like the way we could change the width of the board. Is this possible in the laminate floors? We have particle board as a subfloor. Is there anyway we can have plank hardwood with this subfloor?
Thanks

A: I can only think of one multiple width laminate collection out there, which would be Armstrong’s American Duet collection which features a wide and narrow plank of each pattern. This being said, its hard to get the random width plank look from laminate floors, but far easier with engineered wood floors.
If you were to get an engineered wood floor which was approved for floating installations you could get a random width looking floor which is able to be installed over a particle board subfloor. Keep in mind with particle board its best to stick to a floating floor, although some can take glue down, its best to avoid glue down when possible.
