Q: We are finishing our basement. It is cement with a drain. We are using an underlayment as sub-floor, and then installing a floating floor. What are the options for installation around the drain?
A: You could make a recessed cut out and glue the laminate to it. This would pull out if you needed to gain access to the drain. Or find some sort of grill that will do the same thing.
