Asking for a friend:

What's the best way to install the click-type laminate flooring along
the face of a 10 foot wide brick faced hearth? It's being installed
long side against the hearth.

He's working on a paper template of the grout joints, etc, but isn't
sure he'll be able to cut the laminate precisely enough for a good
fit. I mentioned caulk, but he said there's red brick, grey brick,
mortar and brown flooring. Not sure if any given color of caulk would
work.

He consider a transition piece as molding, but there would still be
gaps behind that so he's not sure he'd like the look.

Any tips from those that have done it before?

Thanks!

A pair of dividers and a jig saw for that first board, if you put a
felt-tip pen in the dividers it makes a better line on the pre-
finished wood than a pencil.- Hide quoted text -

Rockler wood tools sells a nice small wheel divider that rolls easily
along the brickface to draw the line too.- Hide quoted text -

The only wheeled divider I could find at Rockler ishttp://images.rockler.com/rockler/images/35000-01-500.jpg.

Not sure how this would work on brick.- Hide quoted text -

They have them at the store I guess, it has wheels of various
diameters that roll on the irregular surface like a toy car. It's
just a niceity anyway, you could just scribe it with dividers then run
the board through the jig saw.
