Hi folks, :)
I'm an experienced DIY enthusiast, but have never installed laminate floor before, I've been looking for information about diagonal install, but it’s hard to find. :wall:
My doubts are about the main differences and difficulties I may find on the diagonal install, but any information is helpful of course. I'm installing on a small appartment, 2 bedrooms (11sqm/99sqft each), and a living room with a small corridor (28sqm/252sqft), my old floor is long wood planks over an air box, it will be straightened to be flat.
About the preparation, is a anti-damp screen necessary? And about the first lines, how should I proceed? Can I make the whole house without separation between the rooms? How it works when it passes thru doors? Should the floor go under the whole frame? Or should I leave some dilatation space and fill it with rubber or something?
My apartment (http://www.elements.st/main.alb/pessoal.alb/familia.alb/casa.alb/01_planta.jpg)
Many tanks,
Fabio. :coffee:
