In this video i am showing how to install laminate flooring for the first time.

Installing laminate flooring without quarter round.

Installing laminate flooring is a snap literally. Install baseboards and molding remove the spacers around the border and install baseboards and quarter round molding covering the plastic moisture barrier on the wall and the gap between the wall and the flooring. A laminate floor is a floating floor meaning it is not fastened directly to the subfloor. He may be trying to speed up the process of laying the floor yes you do need expansion room for the flooring to expand but between the space normally there where the sheetrock meets the wall and the baseboard it should be enough without the 1 4 round.

I had to be creative with the toilet supply line because it was mounted low but it worked out you can also see the thickness in that picture and that is installed over a floating laminate floor with 1 4 gap. Most diyers can complete laminate floor installation in one day. Planks can be cut with a hand saw circular saw or flooring cutter and most laminate flooring comes in planks that simply snap together with a tongue. He does not have to be as carefull cutting if he has an extra 1 2 inch provided by the 1 4 round.
