Q: 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.
A: If this is a click together joint, just remove the last board and cut one that is wider! Remember the old adage: measure twice, cut once.
