I have what appears to be “hardwood like” glue down laminate so not continuous roll. You see any problem in laying over this. There are a couple of places edges are sticking up. As long as not bad or I tack down, would it be OK to lay down without laminate. This is a house bought for college student and will probably be sold after she graduates in a couple of years.
your video is very helpful my laminate floor is dirty as hell I get spots that bubbly peeling off I tried replacing a section of my laminate flooring didn’t come out to great this review is very helpful you very much I know what I will do to my kitchen
Wow so no underlay paper is needed, will laminate tap against the pre-existing tiles?
Another IMPORTANT detail to laying flooring is to mark the center of the room and start there, so that it centers the room and doesn’t leave you with a narrow strip on the edge.. Also, if the room is rectangular, run the boards long ways. It’s all about the detail.
Amateur. He had one piece of the laminate jammed right to the wall, which is a Mortal Sin in laminate installation. One week later, after the laminate has expanded, the homeowner will trip over it because it will be so bulked/peaked. Use spacers between the laminate and the wall!! Also, he didn’t use an underlayment, which you always use with a laminate floor.
Hey, hey hey, thanks for this explanation on the project.
Good to know information. I am in the process of laying laminate flooring throughout my entire upstairs and a large majority is Linoleum. This just saved me a lot of money and time. Thanks for the valuable tip.
Great no underlayment to purchase and this will simplify my install.
Thank you! U answered my questions!! I didn’t know if i needed to still use the bubble plastic to lay out underneath…I mean I wonder if there something I can do to keep my floor warm and still conserve space.
Thanks Josh….Great video !!
No 1/4 ” off the walls for flex?
