Default Gluing Laminate Flooring

Hi,

I am going to lay some tile style laminate flooring in my kitchen but
have a problem that I don't want to lay it under the kitchen units and
therefore do not have a square room with all the laminate touching
walls.

I have therefore considered using a heavy duty glue such as gripfill to

stick the laminate down with.

Does anyone have any better suggestions to this or could anyone advise
why this might be a bad idea? I know that the laminate is supposed to
expand and contract slightly and was worried gluing might cause any
issue.

Thanks in advance


Dave

We put down tile style laminate in the kitchen and not under the counters.
We attached shoemolding to the toe kick to hold the laminate in place. You
definitely do not want to glue it down.
