I like your videos. I have a problem with laminate for basements though. The floor manufacturer will not warranty it and dricore does not recommend it. Especially with a walkout basement where extra water, snow etc is being brought in. I would suspect you have had to rip out laminate you installed in a basement and replace with engineered. The plywood or osb base in engineered is better suited to moist basement. Also you cut the dricore on the side but actually stagger the ends(as I would have)

It doesnt appear that you staggered it during install like you explained in the presentation?

I've installed subfloor for 22 residential high-rises. The subfloor was need so staples for the hardwood have a place to go and if the hardwood has to be removed easier then glue. Also for acoustic and thermal reasons.
The work here looks good. It's good advise to use a flemming bond, it's uncanny how many mindless contractors don't care because subflooring won't be seen.
No offense, I could have done it in a hour with no mistakes. Here's 2 hints how. 1.vertex convert polygons 2. Pythagore

for laminate flooring, do I need to install plywood boards on top of the dricore? If so what kind of plywood board? thank you

I like it that it is simple but I would like to know the tough questions like how do you cut around the pillars in the basement and I don't see you use any type of adhesives. I guess you really don't need to use one. Sorry, I'm a girl. I'm not used to installing these stuffs.

@super0chick Being a girl is OK, you're are allowed in my club, LOL... Yup no glue, just bang them into each other and away you go. The best way to cut around something would be to use a jig saw.

@MrCoolguy6273 Yes just like that. Very cool stuff, but not super cheap

question...my basement floor is slightly pitched. would i still be able to install this floor or would I have to eliminate the pitch.

@foevahavinskillz It will really depend on how much pitch you have. For the most part yes you can.
