Hi there, I am laying laminate flooring upstairs throughout our extension and refurb. Dont worry there is plenty of insulation!
Have been working through it methodically leaving 10mm gaps all round etc, though I have concern over the expansion issue raised in the instructions. It states that a 12-15mm gap is required for expansion every 7 metres, which conveniently happens at one doorway threshold. if I do this, and install a laminate threshold at that point, which have an overlap which 12mm either side of centre, and I fit the laminate so the cut edge is 6mm under the threshold - surely a gap will appear?
I look forward to hearing your advice!
Many thanks in advance
Patrick
