Quickstyle Laminate Flooring

1. How do you cut laminate flooring when dealing with bifold doors?

just screw the brackets to the casing and not through the floor

2. Please help, how much should I pay?

Just installation of the laminate flooring or is more involved such as removing furniture from the room to lay the flooring and replacing the furniture after installation? Removing old carpet, padding, and disposal? Does the flooring have the padding/vapor barrier on it or will that require separate installation before the flooring can be installed? Laminate flooring requires that a small gap be left between the flooring and the walls. So, 3/4 round moulding will also have to be installed to cover the gap between the wall and the edge of the flooring. Does the room currently have 3/4 round moulding installed? If the room has carpet in it now it does not. If the room does have 3/4 round it will have to be removed before installation and then reinstalled after the flooring is installed. Labor rates vary depending upon where you live. Just a general (rough) estimate for ONLY the flooring and 3/4 round installation: $450.00 (labor only) If more must be done (such as items mentioned above) then the cost will go up.

3. What are your laminate flooring suggestion for Light Oak cabinets?

Check out hgtv.com they are all the time mismatching wood colors, I do know that if you add all one color of wood your house will take on that color. For example I have gold tone wood on my cabinets and my floor so my house has taken on a warm golden shade. I do not mind this but my husband Absolutely loves it. So make sure you are prepared for that to happen if you use a shade of what you already have. You really can not clash with wood

4. Darlington Oak Laminate Flooring Installation?

I have laid alot of that particular flooring and am headed to Lowe's to pick up more Darlington oak in the morning. Its actually pretty good flooring. We use it in apartments and it seems to be holding up very well. Any way Start in a left hand corner .Assemble a complete row . When you cutoff the last piece in the row to fit , the piece that's left over is what you start the next row with. That automatically staggers the joints and makes the floor stronger. I always assemble whole rows ,then lock togather the newly assembled row to the flooring already in place. When looking down at the flooring the longest lip faces new rows. I always tap all joints with a scrap after I lock then togather. Hope this helps. If you were here tommorrow I could give you a quick lesson

5. Need some advice on how best to make a kerf slot in door stop to accept vinyl clad weatherstripping?

Got good hands,,,, the fastest way is an undercut jamb saw. You can rent one at the home depot, and probably the Lowe's, for about $20/day. Traditional use is for cutting door jams to accept laminate flooring. If you feel a touch shaky, get some carpenters clamps and put up a board inside of the door, to hold a board as a rest and a guide. Good luck.

6. How do you fix air bubbles in wood laminate flooring?

If you placed it over concrete and did so without a 6ml vapor barrier, then you have ruined the job. Most people do not realize that concrete "sweats". If you put it over a plywood subfloor, you should have put some rosin paper down first as well. If you did not do this, moisture will cause the floor to buckle

7. What removes the cloudiness on laminate flooring?

Have you tried vinegar and water? Mist on from a spray bottle and use a duster type mop. You may have to do it a few times since you may have a build up of improper cleaners..Dry with a bath towel between cleanings.. Start with a 50/50 mix and cut down to a 1/3 solution of vinegar/ water for normal use.. This is a mild acid type cleaner to cut through any build up. BTW.. white vinegar.. At least this is a cheap try and can be used in day to day cleaning.....GL
