Did I install floor wrong???
I installed a laminate floor over concrete, and there is thick padding
between the floor and the concrete. I assumed the guy at Menards knew what he was talking about when he told me the padding would act as a vapor barrier. Should I have put a layer of plastic between the padding and the floor? I have a problem with small gaps appearing between pieces of the floor. Thanks. |
Never listen to the guy at Menards. Read the installation instructions.

What does the manufacturer recommend? |
