Opinions please...! :o

Installing floating laminate wood floors...approx 1200 sqft. Installing for 3 bdrms, living room, dining room, entry way and hall way. Should I order as I go (room by room )or order all at the same time?

I was thinking of ordering it all at the same time just in case they run out or I can't find it anymore, plus I'm having it delivered and it would be cheaper if I ordered it all at the same time.

You need 1200 sqft order 10% more for waste and to compensate bad boards. You may get better pricing getting it all at one time. You may only save a couple bucks on shipping. Store it inside the home and it will be acclimated by the time you need it.

Yep, order it all and then some, so if there is ever a problem down the road, you will have replacement planks, unlike the many who didn't and are now on a never ending search for something that doesn't exist.

Laminates are changed and discontinued weekly. You want it to be perfect, right? Get it all now!!!
