I have done some install of laminate flooring before. I have in the past used the Dupont glueless and have really liked it. I am installing the same stuff in a room that is probably 40 feet long. I have always been in smaller rooms where I could lift the entire row at an angle and lock it into place.

Any advice for doing this? Do I just put one piece in at a time with a tapping block or are there other ways.

Any advise would be great.

Thanks

Use a wedge to keep the previously installed board up at that perfect angle, to allow you to get the plank your inserting to lock in. Use a 2x4 about a foot long to bump the lengths in as the wedge is removed slowly.

Can you purchase the wedge or do you just make it on your own?

Thanks for the tip.
