Installing Floating Floor Around Kitchen Cabinets

Installing Floating Floor Around Kitchen Cabinets. I have been installing laminate flooring since the product first became popular. It is easier to install laminate flooring in a kitchen when there are no.

Size the foam underlayment and cut it with a utility knife. Screw a strip of the same thickness to the floor next to the wall. Hi Ken thanks for the question.

Screw a strip of the same thickness to the floor next to the wall.

Installing these items on top of your new flooring will cause pressure and not let the flooring expand and contract to temperature changes. If you have only 3 inches of space left between the edge of the flooring plank and the kitchen cabinets measure 3 inches in at each end of the laminate plank from the side with the tongue and then add an additional 14 to 12 inch to the measurement depending on the size of the spacers that came with your flooring so that the plank wont fit directly against the cabinets. The flooring contractor will not have to work around existing cabinetry so the work can go that much faster. Remove the cabinets and screw a plywood filler piece to the subfloor about ½ inch inside the line where it will be under the cabinets.
