Average Installation Times
L
isted below are average installation times for an experienced laminate installer. Installation
time shown is based upon prepared closet walls, i.e. they’re ready-to-install
no breakout
necessary and all tools and supplies are onsite. The times shown may vary greatly in the event
that measurements originally taken by the designer are incorrect; designs have errors (such as
drawers bumping into obstacles); or other problems are evident, such as baseboard or cleat
cutting requirements, or extreme leveling problems.
This manual provides precise recommendations on the order in which each closet component
should be installed so your installer’s time is maximized. Forgetting to install basket slides while a
partition remains on the floor may not appear on the surface to add much time to installation, but
small oversights can add considerably to installation time. Good organization of the installation
workflow is essential to meeting time requirements.
