Laminate flooring offers
speedy installation and the freedom from finishing fumes in your home, but this
stuff isn't foolproof. There are tricks you need to know and apply for
long-lasting results, especially if you choose laminates that click together
without glue.
Click-together laminates
have taken over the market because they're so easy to use, but some brands have
a hidden weakness.
Every laminate manufacturer recommends that
their product sit inside its new home for a week or so to acclimatize to the
humidity there. And while this is excellent advice,it's not going to stop a problem that may look
like shrinking but isn't- gaps that can develop between the ends of
laminate flooring pieces after installation. From The Ottawa Citizen.
