Laminate flooring question- How to place around rail posts and on ledges?
By
I’ve changed plans for my upstairs flooring. I’ve decided to do laminate wood flooring in the upstairs living room, dining room and kitchen, and carpet on the stairs and the three bedrooms. In the living room, there is a ledge (it’s a bi-level) that has a hand rail going around it that leads down the stairs. How would I install the laminate flooring around the rail posts and how would I finish off the ledges so that they look clean? Thanks in advance!

Make paper patterns, once you get the pattern looking good transfer the shape to the flooring to cut out. And use a mould like this

Laminate flooring is a floating floor. It requires a 1/4″ expansion space from the wall or, in your case, the rail posts. You can cut around the post, leaving the space and then install trim around it to cover the gap. The laminate flooring supplier has the 90 degree trim needed to finish off your ledges.
