Is there such a thing as a floating hardwood floor? I have seen hardwood flooring that has a “uniclic” design which looks like it can be floating. If so, what types of things should I consider for installing it in my new (less than 5 year old) condo? Would there be a sub floor over the concrete?

I recently installed laminate flooring throughout my home. Upon completion of the project I realized that I had some gaps around my door frames. After some further investigation I realized that I should have used an undercut saw to take off the bottoms of the door frames so the floor could go underneath. It was too late however as the floor is already down. The gaps range anywhere from less than an inch to around 1.5″ I cut small pieces from my off-cut sections of flooring and glued them into the gaps. Now there are noticeable (to me) seams at all the points where I glued in the “patches”. Any suggestion on what to fill in the seams with to make them less noticeable? I tried some laminate floor crack filler/repair that I bought at a local home improvement store but it doesn’t match the floor very well.

Can I glue down the wood look laminate floor? Will it buckle like someone told my husband?

How do I remove cheap, laminate, wood flooring from my foyer and hall way? It is glued down rather randomly throughout the space and is extremely difficult to tear out. Is their a product that will remove the glue and make this job a bit easier? The flooring is about a 13/8 inch thick, if that helps.

I have a question. Should I remove a indoor/outdoor carpet in my basement rumpus room to install a laminated floor? The old carpet is glued to concrete and I think will be not ease to remove it. The thickness of it is around 1/4″. Can I use it as subflooring instead?

My son is in a power wheelchair. To get to his room he needs to cross the den and I would like to replace it with wood. I’m understanding that the laminating would be easier to keep from getting damaged. Please let me know if a laminated one would work better than a hardwood one. It will get a lot of wear and tear.

I installed a floating laminate floor, but my calculations were a little off. I now have a 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inch gap after putting in my last row. Is there trim that can go around that? Currently, the room has a 2 inch baseboard around the house.

We just installed some ****snap together laminate flooring. There are a couple pieces we’ve noticed that have a chip or bubble in the finish. Is it possible to remove and replace a single strip and if so how?

My mother is in a wheelchair. What would be the best flooring for them to use in their home?

I had my tub refinished. Epoxy got all over my tile in the bathroom and on my laminate wood floor. How do I clean this mess up?

I have just had my room fully plastered & the laminate flooring was not fully covered when they did it. I have scrapped the dry plaster of with an old credit card so not to scratch the laminate, but the white marks are coming back every time the floor dries. What can I do to get rid of these plaster marks?

We want to replace our carpeted floors with hardwood floors. We have two large dogs and two cats. Which type of flooring would be best with this many pets? Thanks in advance for your help! We want to make sure that whatever floor we choose (hardwood, engineered, laminate) will withstand many pet feet and the occasional pet stain without becoming too scratched, dingy or stained.

I have some uneven gaps around the perimeter of my laminate flooring which I am installing myself. In some places, they are as big as 10 mm. Can I cover them with Quarter rounds?
Also, about the underlayment, should the underlayment run under the baseboards or should it be just under the laminates? Is it OK if some area along the perimeter (say about 5 mm) does not have an underlayment?
