Baby's Room - Laminate Floor Install

[MrNJZA80]

you did everything backwards, floors go at the and of the project. finish your walls and doors first.

this isnt even a video, its more of a slide show and it sucks. both tighten up

[talntspks4me]

This is a HOW TO video and you didn't show how to do anything just that it can be done. tighten up

[BohemianDre]

i never said it was a how to video, in my comments, video title or description. YOU should tighten up :-)

[piperfife]

I've got the same problem - hard food floors that the some former owner put screws right into. Idiot! I put down pergo for now - floating. When I have the money I'll take it up and fix the hardwood.

YOUR FLOOR UNDERNIETH WAS NICER

Yes I new about the moisture as I used foilbacked rolls on my newish concrete floors,but I have laid about 17 or 18 floors,but never came across felt backed flooring,does it cut ok and not clog or jam the saw?Cheers

[BohemianDre]

yeah it cuts just fine on my table saw with no problems.

The padidng isnt entirely for noise reduction its for moisture issure. Hes right though grabing wood filler to fill in the tack bar holes then refinishing the floor is a much bigger pain the installing laminate. eco finishes and shaws epic hardwood has a great locking system for people who want real wood without the glue/nail/staple installation.

Why put laminate over real hardwood?

[BohemianDre]

hard to tell in those pics but if I wanted to stick with the real hardwood I would have need to do a bit of work on the floor. The previous owners of the house put carpet down and drove nails into every section of the floor. No idea why. It was faster and easier to just put the laminate down and it still preserves the real hardwood in case several years or decades in the future. The laminate flooring is just floating laminate, no glue, no nails.

[eatnosenuggets]

That's cool, but you're right, it's hard to tell the original HW was in bad shape. Still looks good w/the laminate, though!

[RABIDJOCK]

U didnt seem to use any Underlay or foam there for noise reduction,handy in a kids room.Though hard to tell with the time lapse if u did.

[BohemianDre]

The dupont laminate flooring actually has the underlayment already pre-attached to the bottom of the laminate pieces. One less step for me to do :-)
