I bought some tarket laminate flooring and need help installing?

No you shouldn t glue the pcs together. On the old glue together style. there was room left in the T &G area for when the glue made the areas expand a bit. The new locking systems there is no room for the glue ..And to answer you about if it will stay locked together, only time will tell. I ve read reports ( trade magazines) on the Chinese made locking system not holding together very well.

As far as installation goes, a helper , a straight start and a laminate kit is a big help. The laminate kit contains a tapping block ,spacers and a pull bar.

Set your 1st row straight. With a friend set your second row, end cuts and all, loose.. Lift this all at once into place. At an angle ,set the locking groves together, push in and down. This will semi lock the system. Go along the whole row and tap into place with the tapping block to set it tight.

Once you get 3/4 rows together, you can start to set single pcs if you wish. If not, continue setting whole rows if you wish. You can set whole rows by your self but its a bit more challenging.

All end joints should be no closer than 6", further if possible at all times.

Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar.

I ve attended several installation seminars as well as installed a few 100,000 s/f of laminate.

Lastly..... Buy pizza and a beer ( if inclinded ) for your helper at the end of the day.. GL

they had to at one time glue them.and now iterlock them.you need to know what type it is.good luck.

when you snap them togeather they will stay put. I have had mine for years and it is still just fine.
