Laminate Flooring Spacers


I am looking for tips on installing laminate wood flooring. Anyone out there had any experience with this?

We have a kit with spacers, a pulling type tool and a rubber block to protect the wood when we use a hammer to push them together. How useful are the tools?

You more than likely don t have a glue together flooring. They stopped making them several years ago. Yours “clicks” and will lock itself together.. 1 st start as to which way you want to run the flooring..Usually it s the longest site line but is personal prefrence. Lay out 1 row of your underlayment foam..Using the spacers to create a 1/4 inch space along the wall you choose is best.Snap together 1 row end to end..You can use the end cut to start the next row if the seams are approx 12 inches from each other.Lay out next row w/ a friend to help and you can snap 1 row in all at once.. Use the tap block to insure they snap together completely ( you ll be able to tell) Same w/ the 3 rd row. It takes 3/4 rows before it realativly stable to work with…Once you get the hang of it , it s farly easy.. Cut off and under door casings and door jams to slide laminatr under.. Use a handsaw and a scrap pc of laminate and foam to get thickness Trim out room w/ shoe molding or reapply base molding after your done GL
