Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Starting point on installation

Ummm...If I'm installing floating laminate wood for 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, entry way and hallway how do I figure which room to start with? Is that too vague :thinker: ?

Check with your laminate manufacturer. Not the guy that sold you the flooring. They will only tell you what you want to hear and not always the truth.

Most manufacturers require a "Tee" molding transition strip at all doorways less then 4 feet in width(most bedroom doors do not meet this requirement and require a Tee molding.
If you choose to go through a small doorway, don't be surprised if the laminate seperates as the two areas try to float and move seperately and in different directions. There is just not enough beef and strength in a little amount of glueless laminate, unlike a glue together laminate that has 4 times the strength in the joints.

I always try to start in the most difficult area, where getting the laminate under the undercut doorcases and jambs out a row or 3 from the jambs by popping a straight line and working back to the jambs, so I can slide the assembled rows easily to "dry lay" to get it perfect. :thumbup:

So, I should start at the doorway and then into the room?...rather than from the largest side wall and then towards the door? Just checking...I know it can be done from the largest side wall towards the door but the way you describe it sounds easier and better if I'm understanding it correctly.
