Got lots of curves in your rooms?

Sink pedestals, WCs, also doorframes need detailed cuts - how
about you?

You'd actually cut laminate flooring round those things, would you?

I have done.

Have you ever done it? Sounds like a no...

Certainly not a bodge like that. Remove everything so it goes underneath

And screw them down through the laminate afterwards? How does
that work with the required floating floor expansion
gaps?


Drill the fixing holes oversize.

And don't tighten the screws?


Yes, tighten the screws to fix, but allow movement. You wouldn't
lock-tighten screws to sanitary ware anyway. 'Semi-floatng' :-)


Wobbly bog? Each to their own as you say ;-)


Er, it doesn't wobble - fixed firmly but not locked down.

My turn to be unsure if I get what you're describing , so its not
"locked down" (definition unclear) but screwed down firmly enough
so as not to move at all yet still allowing your laminate
underneath to expand & contract as it wants? Hats off if you've
really achieved all that ;-)

Do you have a silicone seal around your wobbly bog? How wide/thick
is that? If not where does the **** go?


Well, in the pan :-) I put a thin bead of clear silicone between the pan
and laminate.

6mm fillet maybe?

2cm of flooring? Why so thick? Bodging over uneven floorboards
perchance ? Each to their own ;)


14mm laminate, 5mm underlay

Oh the chunky stuff..mmm

chunkey I thought 12mm was the standard for kitchen and bathroons althout 8mm can be used, so maybe 14mm is chunky but it seems quite popular for some reason.
5mm underlay is also standard.
