does a floor have to be leveled to install wooden floor?

and also what goes on first, such as the padding or plastic sheeting.

Answers:

1laminate floors (pergo) glue or lock together they do not get fastened down its a floating floor...it gets installed over a thin foam for cushion and keep it 1/2 inch from the edges and then put a 1/4 round over the gap and fasten the 1/4 round to the wall so the floor can move under it..you do not need to do a lot of leveling ahead of time only in a severe case
