[@erolhassan5346]

Nice and simple if you've got no doors to go through or protrusions such as fire places etc. What about removing the skirting boards?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Yes that is an option of course! Just depends on whether or not you can take them off and put them back on afterwards

[@Killieguy84]

Trying to do a bit of research on which type of flooring I should get.We have 2 cockapoos do you think laminate would be ok or engineered?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Personally I would go for the Engineered Wood Flooring as it's more resilient, but you will get wear and tear on it so bare that in mind!

[@TheWidowMaker.]

Can I cut the skirting and Tuck the wood under it, the same way you can do it with laminate flooring?

[@gavincollins9376]

Remove all skirting,

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Yes that can be down that way if you remove the shirts, cutting them in situ is quite difficult

[@MrDIYCraigPhillips]

Yes you certainly can

[@ItsGrantM]

Hi mate, so no need for adhesive or nails?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Hi Grant, No none required with this system

[@MrDIYCraigPhillips]

No none

[@azad211169]

Wen u take out the spacers around the edges won’t d floor move and make gaps between the planks then u ave to move em back using duck tape or dubble sided tape wtf am I right or am I just of my head????

[@MrandMrsDIY]

So you have a small expansion gap around the sides of the wood because the wood expands and contracts depending on the temperature!

[@decosse01]

Helpful tips on layout considerations. But have to say, pretty poor quality flooring - both ends along the length were curling in the air and only the application of the molding bead would be holding it down, which is far from ideal. I suspect that over larger areas, it would be prone to 'springing' as you walk over it. With material that had that issue, I think I'd be more likely to glue it down, although personally, would spend a bit more to get a better quality product.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Sorry you feel that way! We've not had problems with installing it in homes in the past, may be due to an underfloor issue rather than the floor boards themselves, cheers

[@AlexOliveGrove]

So, no glue and no nails?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Nope! The slats are designed in a tongue and groove style so they just clip together, cheers

[@timothyevans5557]

Shit hot.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Thanks!

[@MrDIYCraigPhillips]

Thank you

[@Andy-rt7km]

[@MrandMrsDIY]

KZbin?

[@luistorres-jl4cd]

Omg to slow. Wrong instalation. U forgot to use glue

[@MrandMrsDIY]

I think you'll find not was the right way of installing without glue, check out the manufactures guidelines

[@boblargecock7724]

Here are the tools you need, apart from the circular saw. That can just appear magically out of nowhere 😂

[@MrandMrsDIY]

You can do it by hand if you wish!
