Weekend: installing 420 sq.ft. of hardwood laminate.

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Mar 11 '10, 09:26

LYC: looks like I'll be able to lay it over the linoleum in the kitchen and entryway (saving the step of pulling it up), but will have to lay 1/2" particle board in the living room and hallway (after removing the carpet) to make the floor even throughout.

really? wow ... be sure to post how it goes - i'd consider this! -- nm - JenBro Mar 11, 09:34
aren't you supposed to put down a layer of some sort to prevent squeaking or something? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:28 4
- It's got some padding already affixed to the bottom of each 'plank'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 09:29 3
  - just a sorta note, even though many of them say they dont require glue - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:31 1
    - It has some adhesive already along the edges. Though maybe I'll add some more... at least in the kitchen. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 09:33
  - nice. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:30
Have fun with the corners! - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:28 1
- I found some equipment at Lowe's... pullbar, tapping block, spacers, etc. - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 09:31
I loved ripping up the linoleum in my house - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:28
