Installing Laminate Flooring 1

[WindOtaku29]

Just want to say thanks for explaining what tools are needed to complete project. I needed to know how to finish against end area with pull bar. Again thanks !!!! Keep helping others!!!

[Twizzler1414]

These guys must be paid by the hour, and a tip to future filmmakers: while filming your how-to video turn down your distracting sheeprape music.

[nomaughlimbaugh]

Great video. Thanks! One or two of those stand-up halogen tower lamps would have been helpful. But cool video though.

[WanderlustGypsyQueen]

Please turn off the radio - also - could someone explain how you start???

[whereskim89]

I like the music that was playing on the radio around 4:30 plus I feel a little more informed on laying these laminate flooring cause I am planning a project and I am schooling myself

Don't forget the spacer bars! Make sure oyu mix up the boards in the boxes too, for good color mix... We're installing today, looks great!

[SuperAlula]

Thanks man, the summery part made it clearer than any other vidios i saw in th etube. I am remodeling and, i am saving $900 in labor cost for about 400 sq three bed rooms.

[fifipe]

oh man, bad example, they are installing a bran new laminate floor, and they are throwing the hamer on top of it, and the rest of the cuts on top of them to. OH MAN.

Great job.

[how2worksmart]

could do detail video of the sides and corners as well?

[mangorbe]

hit it harder nice peaks

[frankrfroesejr]

Vibezzable, length of room x width of room = square footage.

[Rangerbelt]

I agree with the radio-it makes for a very annoying video

[vibezzable]

how do i know how much floor for mi room?

is there a way to work it out after i measure the room?

[TheRealShroom]

Awesome video! Great work! Checkout my music at adambogan . com

[tag1989]

i did laminate flooring today. getting between the radiators takes the piss and slows everything down

[reutcek]

Can someone tell me if I should start from one end or in the middle?

[bigredmudcrab]

@reutcek you should start in the left hand corner.

[red666A]

Laminate flooring isn't that dificult to install, but i dislike bending and crawling on knee..

[loganromeroplant]

so slow!!

[July41054AD]

What happens if you come up short two inches lengthwise, I mean the last run is two inches, is this acceptable or say your doing a kitchen with an Island that falls in the middle of a length and you have to notch out a portion of a length, any tips on this.

[resfalgio]

use a presicion saw and made the cuts for !!!

[SouthernWhiteTrash]

I measure the odd-ball lengths beforhand, and offset that run to eliminate the 2" piece. But sometimes you can't offset the run so I mitersaw or tablesaw the piece. Jigsaw the tricky stuff.

[FlooringSuppliesCoUk]

Awesome stuff thanks

[tabcan]

Thanks for the real time video. Everyone who sells it says it's quick and easy but they can't always be trusted. It's nice to see a project go together in real time.

[1onlytaz]

does anyone know if I can cut laminated flooring after it has been layed? I am getting a buckle in areas of the floor pulled off the baseboard and the contractor but it right up to the wall. Any help would be appreciated thanks

[fireworkstube]

You could see if you can get a Rotozip along the wall. The short answer is yes, you can fix it but your going to have a hell of a time unless you can get something like a Rotozip to do it. You might also try a dremel with a rotary cutting attachment, but it's going to be tough to keep it straight; depending on how far out your baseboards are will dictate how 'messy' your solution can be.

[tuffman832000]

IF YOU BOUGHT GOOD STUFF LIKE QUICKSTEP, THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE TAPPING ALL THOSE BOARDS!!!!!! trust me, when you have to tap a product together, that just causes more head ache and more damage to the floor. i could lay that floor in minutes, they still playing with the tapping blocks. fast huh? and underlayment attached to the floor is cheap. get a good laminate like uniclic quickstep, and you'll say why the heck i bought that cheap stuff when you only paid a few cents more. trust me and C4Urself

[btommmm]

great work fellas and nothing like good old rock and roll music to set the mode LOL excellent

[PowBitch]

8:41 Widespread Panic starts on the radio no less, what a way to finish a good flooring project in the south.

[woody1time]

Ok this is a good vid. Just wondering why its so important to stagger the wood? And the quarter rounding is it ok to just use a hammer for the finnish nails?  Man this is going to be fun this weekend! LOl

[mentor32]

I wonder if they know if the camera's still running LOL. seriously! it's good the way laminate does takes shape after a while.

[dokuhaku2323]

You take the time you need to do it right. Quality first, and the speed will come as you get more experience. Good luck.

[Stormin024]

You need more lighting so we can see and please turn off the radio...

[queenoid]

This was VERY helpful to me, as I was having a LOT of trouble snapping the pieces together. It's a lot better, but sometimes I still have some trouble. I hope that as the floor goes along I get better.

[RachelMarie81]

It would be nice if next time you make a video you could turn the tv off. It was very distracting. However, thank you for the information and showing people how easy it is to install this flooring.

[facestomp88]

Get yourself a pergo clamp kit that was made for strapping the floor together like how pergo was done before the nice locking grooves, it makes adjusting on the walls and all allot easier and better than those little black spacers. Also a bullit tools cutter, its about 1k but worth every dime! Cut all your stuff right there next to you with no dust.

[miker430]

Dude, turn of the TV.

[ssebstrickland]

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful!

[khube2]

all of you making negative comments are nothing but a bunch of L 7 wienies. Good video, thanks helped me install my flooring very easily

[Seyahhsod]

khube2 some people have nothing else to do but to sit around on their bums and DO NOTHING but bring people down.

I thought this was a great video, basic and easy to understand without a lot of fan fair.

THOSE B!TCHES!

[n8thegreat2]

Do you have that mexican on the books? Hilarious how you whipped the end piece at him.

[danbibbins]

I agree the guy is slow, however, for some one who is trying to learn what to do, this is the perfect pace. I assume we are watching the guy do it because we want to learn how to install the floor and not as a form of entertainment.

[saturbo1107]

Oh you guys like off roading!!!! me too....

[saturbo1107]

it's a good video!!! but the installer is very very very very very very very slow, or maybe his learning? i will do that room in 20min or less... =X 14 years doing this. omg too slow...sorry guys but it's true!!! i still rate this video 5 =)

[envyps]

To Mr. saturb1107--Dude!! you're a sorry man, they are great. It is a video to show people how to install laminate flooring, not to race and see how fast they do it idiot. People like you should just keep your comments to yourself. Bastards like yourself who think they know it all. You Don't!! You selfish inconsiderate degenerate. You should learn from these people they are kind enough to show us all how it is done and you, what can I say drink my Jiz!!!

[n8thegreat2]

lol

[k3n4olk]

IS THE PLASTIC ON TOP OF CARPET ?

[requestasongcom]

Turn off the radio next time.

[huckleberrysoda]

nice video

[edwardcioffi]

This is one terrible video. I don't understand how anybody got anything out of this????

What's with the radio music....

[perry80s]

U R DA MAN! you saved me a lot of money. Thank You! keep making great vidz.

[psychodelicdragon]

very helpful, great looking job. you can do mine for me.

[crileyhome]

since the laminate flooring already had padding attached, is it necessary to lay down the extra padding you have on the floor?

[psychodelicdragon]

they tell me if it has padding on it, DO NOT use the extra pad. too much of a good thing, will cause joint seperation.

[basher4737]

k did you put down the insulation subfloor before the laminate and if you did how do you put that down just glue?

[skipdownstairs]

in the beginning are those geese in the background!?!!!?

[tyguy44]

I cant find that kind of flooring on the costco website

[landlordvideos]

It's a warehouse only item.. Can't be purchased on-line.

[juzu4me]

Under my carpeting are those 70's style tiles. I took some carpeting off and the underlay was glued to the tile and is a biatch to get off. Do I have to get all the glue off of the tiles? Or can I lay the laminate flooring on top of the gluey tiles? Thanks in advance, dude.

[j2sw]

Get a floor scraper. They come up fairly easy with a little bit of effort.

[juzu4me]

Thanks man!

[hardballmom]

you are hilarious!!!!!I love your sense of humor.!

[dokuhaku2323]

Which part did you think was the funniest? :]
