I am installing laminate flooring in my basement. I did not measure correctly and my final row is going to be about 1.5 in wide. The manufacture says not less than 2 in. Why 2 in.? The last row will never be walked on since it will mostly be under the trim.

What type of saw should I use for installing laminate flooring?
Posted by: | Comments
I’m installing 600 sq feet of snap-in, glue-less laminate flooring this weekend. The stuff is only like a 1/4″ thick. I wanna use a hacksaw so I can work late into the night (so I don’t disturb the neighbors in the condo). Is a hacksaw ok? Or shouuld I use a circular or jig saw? The stuff is so thin that I’m thinking why even waste time busting out the bad boy, and just working with Rusty (my baby hacksaw that I’ve nursed since my childhood).
Any other tips on my installation would be super. Thanks.

Laminate flooring?
Posted by: | Comments
I’m installing laminate flooring and am planning on using my existing carpet padding (it’s really thin). I’m installing the flooring on a concrete foundation. How important is it for me to use an underlayment/vapor barrier such as Visqueen? What are the consequences, both short and long-term if I choose not to use a vapor barrier?

Do you recommend laminate flooring in the kitchen?
Posted by: | Comments
We’re installing laminate flooring throughout the house (over the existing tile floor). Do you recommend putting it in the kitchen? It’s such a high traffic area, plus I’m concerned about unseen spills. Curious to know if anybody has any good or horror stories about it. Thanks!
