I cant understand half the things he is saying and I wish I could cuzz I want everyone's advise. I also can't hear half the words, like it is all cutting in and out...oh and reading! Can't!!!
Maybe moisture resistant from surface spills. That has alot to do with the quality of the locking mechanism. You need a moisture barrier if you are installing on concrete, on the main floor or below grade. Laminate is made of compressed wood particles. Remember wood & water don't mix. You need underlayment to block moisture and absorb sound. If you don't use underlayment your floor will have a horrible hollow sound. The underlayment will not eliminate this sound but will greatly reduce it.
I tell you one of the reason you should have underlay ; over the time your floor will get dirty and naturaly dust and dirt will go under your laminate from the sides; obviously your floor is going to be floating floor after some time you gonna hear some noise from your floor ,it will annoy you .Another reason is your underlay will help reduce unevenness of your floor so floor preparation expence will be reduced (flor prep is expensive and needs skill).
reason underlayment 's plastic side down for moisture barier reason, also no matter what kind or quality of wood product you buy acclimatized it anyway you get better result,trust me clicks easy
We bought Armstrong Grand Illusions Natural Cherry L3022 laminate and it does not need to be acclimated. It probably depends on the brand and quality of the product that determines the need for acclimation. The most time I have heard for acclimation was 48 hours. Also, the undelayment we purchased is the 2-in-1 type and the plastic side is facing up. It even says on the plactic "This side up", so I don't know why the underlayment in this video has different rules.....????
can anyone please tell me what the consiquesnces would be if i didn't put underlay below my laminate? i have new moisture resistant oak laminate which i would like to put on top of what appears to be a chipboard type floor base. any ideas?
And how exactly do you do a hallway with 5 bedrooms??? Fail!

@hagridssister the easiest way is remove the locks and apply adhesive.
