laminate flooring expansion gap too big
Posted on August 29, 2020
The other choice would be to stop at the edge but then you would have a gap unless you covered it with a trim.We are attempting to install a laminate floor. When you don’t have the proper expansion gap, the pressure caused by the natural expansion of the floor will need to go somewhere. You will just need a quarter round or molding to cover the gap.Currently laying laminate click clack flooring down and have encountered an area where we cannot place it to the wall cause of the built in kitchen (it has space underneath which is too small for the flooring) we are leaving a massive space under there.
For the majority of household rooms, an expansion gap of between 9.5mm and 12mm will suffice unless the room you are laminating is larger than most normal sized household rooms, or the area where you live suffers from extreme hot and cold weather throughout the year – …
Thank youI have wrought iron a railing at the edge of my room going down a stairway. The manufacturer will specify how much you need, usually only .25″.
If you are installing a floating floor, a quarter inch gap is still needed along the perimeter of the room.
It's all down and it's been quite awkward because of its 'L' shape. But the trim is higher up above the flooring and the planks slide back further under them and hit the wall if we didn’t have the spacers.
If you can put a square in the middle of a floor that means there is no expansion gap that is too big. You will still need to have an expansion gap for installation, as the flooring can still move with temperature changes throughout the year.
Thanks!It is very common for T-molding to be required for an opening under 4 foot in width and for a continuous room over a certain length (varies per mfg.).
Sounds like your area was to large. I've laid some laminate flooring in a hall way. What do you think? What is this called and where would I find it? Always leave a quarter of an inch for expansion!Hi Tyler, I am about to lay laminate flooring over a large area, approx 12 meters x 5 meters, what size expansion gap should I leave?

That is a standard practice to add room to room, so I don’t think it will take away from the beauty of your new floors. Once you figure out what is causing it to gap you will be able to figure out how to repair it. Do I cut my vapor barrier (*Note*–I already laid the barrier and flooring and left a gap in the installed floor for the T molding, at bedroom/hallway) and glue the T molding track to the cement slab or do I glue it right to the vapor barrier? He told us we would need to purchase shoestring molding and glue it down. You're right though, this seems to be the sort of story that probably has other factors that aren't being disclosed.On another note, we never have actual work orders. there is a gap under some of the drywall higher than the plank.
my question is will this gap allow the vinyl to move more than the 1/4 in space left? We did such a bad job.
You can remove the spacers once you have the flooring installed, but the gap should remain.Hello.

How can I find out what the real price is per sqft?Hi Shara, the standard .25″ gap will be fine for your project!Hi, how much expansion gap do I need to leave between the floor and the baseboard for my room that is 368 sqft.

The railing is screwed to the floor with two braces and the side of the railing is braced to a wall.
baseboards are off and will cover when reinstalled. Give us a call at 800-520-0961 if you have additional concerns!Hi Donald, thanks for the question. There are limits on how large of an area that can be done without an expansion molding the only other factor is the temp when the laminate is fitted - if it's cold ie winter then the real gap will be smaller than if the laminate was fitted on a very hot day during summer. Hello folks, I'm new to this website and forum so hi and hope you can help! Not afraid to admit, inexperienced DIY'er who fell victim to fatigue.
They did not under cut the door frames. Should I just leave 1/4 in perimeter gap and don’t worry about the fact the planks can side under?
