Hi all

I am about the have my first go at laying laminate flooring in an odd
shaped hallway in a bungalow.

Can anybody suggest a good diy book or web site with pictures and
instructions.

I have the general idea of how to go about it but am a bit unsure
about fitting the strips between doorway architraves etc. i.e. cutting
the profile to fit the architrave detail.


TIA

Paul

Thanks all of you for your help.

I had thoughts of using cheap laminate to start with, two reasons

a. Its on a new building site so quite a lot of grit etc will be
dragged in over the next year or so. I can lay the better stuff in a
year or two.

b. I am on a learning curve so using cheap stuff I can afford to make
a few mistakes and rip it up.

Asked for quotes for laying the flooring, they came in at 10 UKP and
12.50 UKP per M2.

Thanks
