forgot your safety glasses using the table saw right after saying always wear your safety glasses using the table saw…..just saying. nice job though CHEERs
Subbed. Great videos they are really coming in handy because I’m doing my bathroom right now as a novice DIYer.
I want to lay laminate flooring in the (downstairs) bathroom which is like a L shape around the bath tub and I’m unsure which way to lay…. width or length wise? Thanks mate
Pouse, this is an amazing video, probably one of the best on Youtube. I’m redoing my foyer with laminate and am using this vid as a reference. I’ll post pics when I’m done!
Without a shadow of a doubt, the best laminate flooring video I’ve seen – filling in all the detail that other videos omit – which is so crucial to getting it right.
Fantastic!
One of the best guides.
Another great vid! Shame u didn’t make one for fitting the skirting after…nicely explained keep up the good work cheers
A wood-worker who wears gloves when laminate isn’t real wood i.e. no splinters! I spent 40 years working with wood and never used gloves once. Happily retired now having taught woodworking in schools, colleges and at evening classes I’ll be putting down a laminate floor in my son’s house later without gloves. Maybe this chap has had an expensive manicure. By the way when using a jig saw on a laminate the good surface should be facing down as the teeth cut on the upwards movement. An interesting video and very useful for people who don’t feel confident about doing this job. However my blood ran cold though when I saw him using the circular saw. No safety guard and no push stick with a bird’s mouth cut. Health and Safety would have had a field day if I had done that in my working career. Using a circular saw one should ALWAYS use the (rip) fence and not cut freehand. A band saw or jig saw is for doing that work. DIY enthusiasts may learn a lot from the video but may not have a full set of fingers if they take notice of the unsafe use of a potentially deadly circular saw.
Snagging for the spark, the height of those socket were out by a mile
Good work
this is a not a profissional job, look to the joints
Great information and so concise. Brilliant!
Measure twice, cut once !
this is currently my line of work and ive gotta say, you’re pretty good but. I definitely learnt a thing or two from watching this video. might be an idea to do a video of a more difficult floor though. hallway into a couple of rooms or summin. A tip from one welsh fitter to another, pick up a set of alpro medical knee pads, expensive but worth it. great video and good luck.
if the bottom of the skirting stuck out in a roundish style therefore not being able to sit the beading flush with the skirting board, what would be the easiest was to solve this?
Nice job thanks
hi.great video. Is this laminate from wickes? what brand is it? many thanks
Nice video, one of the most detailed I’ve seen and very well explained. Learned a lot from this. Def got my subscription
Thank you..
Nice tutorial! Lots of good points which are normally ignored or skipped by other videos!!!
why do you have your blade set so high on your table saw?
look at the gaps. these guys stay the fuck away from my house lol
Hi where are u based and if you do fittings
Could you use a quality masking tape for joining the underlay or is that tape really a must ?
This is without doubt the best and most detailed video I have seen on laminate flooring laying. The commentary on how to space the planks to ensure continuos joint lines was invaluable. Bravo!
Great video….where can I buy this magic laminate flooring that fits itself?
How do you get any work done with that vicious dog in the room?
Nice one cheers
Thanks I watched ten different ones and this one is by far the best! Anyone reading this do NOT use gloves with a table saw. It will turn a small cut into possibly losing a finger.
On the wall I want to start laying there’s a stone fireplace HELP
Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to make and upload such an informative video
I’m a fairly competent DIY’er, but I’m a complete noob when it comes to laminate flooring
But using this expert guide and the extremely useful tips found here, (and from a couple of other videos), I’ve just finished installing my first laminate floor in our living room & hallway – And it looks absolutely great, (yes, I am blowing my own trumpet, but the floor does look good)
My own ‘top tips’:-
1 – Underlay – Simple – Buy the best that’s available
2 – Use a fine-tipped CD pen for marking out your laminate boards
3 – You can buy special 1/4 round trunking for hiding/protecting wiring along your skirting boards, (D-Line make/have a good selection)
4 – Laying a laminate floor is very time consuming, so do not rush your work, otherwise you will definitely regret it
So again, thank you Mr Pouse, you have been a great help
Nice video mate and you explained each section well. I will be laminating my house soon. Can you give me some advice on the best way to measure around the bottom stair. Its got a circular edge, would it be best to use a small bit of card board like you did in this video to cut the shape of the bottom stair then use a jigsaw to cut it? Cheers Rich
great direction on video and the handy hints were really handy…thanks
Where can i buy one of the harambe shirts?
You can undercut stone with a diamond blade and cold chisel then the laminate fits underneath the small channel you made in stone and leaves no gaps at all this is messy job but the finished results are fantastic
Off to do this tomorrow – thanks for the video 😉
great job but i would of undercut the natural stone around fire & doorway as this iliminates the need for caulking & looks way nicer
Really really helpful and so well explained. Thanks 😉
Mate, Wickes uploaded a video on how to lay a laminate flooring, but yours is 10 times more informative. Great job and great tips!
In terms of safety, the table saw blade needs to be down so it is just a bit higher than the object being cut.
very good video
Great video bud… You got a sub
Thank You
Can this go well in the kitchen? I’m thinking about remodel my kitchen floor either laying down the tiles or laminates but I never done these type of work and I don’t want hire anybody. I need ideas.
Best video I have seen thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
nice video. thanks
hi what tape do u use
