How To Install the Last Row

[floorlay]

you say remove the baseboards,but if they're fixed to a lath and plaster wall you'l end up taking half the wall with you..!!!!

[brettmech79]

Maybe you should check out his second video. How to install quarter round. So looks like taking the baseboard off would be a waste of time if you are installing quarter round. To all you experts out there.

[jasonhughes1973]

nice if you like gaps between the lam and the base try taking off the base first install the lam then re install the base.....otherwise you void any warranty. your welcome no more half ass floor-laying please it makes us pros look bad with improper tutorials.

how was the second piece installed without angling the length to engage the lock? Was the lock removed from the groove with a chisel to install that piece? Doesn't it then need to be glued? It appears he just laid it flat and pulled it in.

that looks like shit. You are supposed to remove all the baseboards BEFORE doing the whole room, moron.

@HappyLandFarms no you dont.

what if my room is 5/8 inch out of square, what are my options when starting my first row?

[bluey115]

@WubProductions take a square tool, chalkline off one wall. cut 1st row boards in half. Measure each board seperatly. this will make up the differnence without much notice.

never install laminate flooring without first removing the skirting board as the laminate expands and will bulge in the middle (you all seen bulging floors !) the skirting boards sit on top of the laminate flooring and there is no need for edging strips that are unsightly and are a sign that it has been done by someone who could not do it properly or could not be bothered to do it properly. it is a good excuse to replace old skirting at the same time if you want nice new unpainted ones as well

[tag1989]

@dadswizz wtf are you talking about? ive layed laminate with the skirting on many times. all you have to do is leave a 10mm gap and beed it once its all layed.

[dadswizz]

the first thing you HAVE to do is take the skirting boards off, if you dont you will have to put quarter doweling around the edges and it will bulge as well. so take the skirting boards off lay the laminate flooring 2 mil from the edges of the wall and re-sit the skirting boards on top of the laminate.. every time you see a floor that has bulged it was because it was laid the same way as it is done in this video,, do it properly it is easier as well as your cutting has a 2 mil tolerance

great! that looks like crap!

[bulldwgs]

you put some quarter round down.. Dont nail into the floor nial it into the baseboard and it hide the gap, looks great, and allows the floor to expand. Great Video

[pjscream]

i think is better if you first take off the baseboards before instaling the laminate floor because that way you can cover the gap with the baseboards

[heelgliders]

dont you gotta leave a 1/4 gap? thats goin look like crap

[gotfreckles]

it looks like he did leave a big enough gap

[oliviaknowles]

SMART!!! I always wondered how that was done!
