I have just completed installing a laminated floor in my family room. I used Quick Style Unifloor Lite snap laminated flooring. My question is it necessary to a silincone sealant around the outer edges of the floor? I'm replacing the baseboard in the room, will cover the outer of the floor. I'm planning on completing this project this weekend. Any help that I can get would be appreciated.

Thanks

If there is no chance for water in the room, no silicone is usually necessary. If there is a sliding glass door, consider condensation as a moisture source. Color matching Silicone is available to match to wood tones from dealers who carry Color-Rite caulks.
