I've been a carpenter for 40 years and I think this is the best video on laminate flooring I've seen...
Always a joy when another Dymock video drops.
Aw that's nice John, thank you
What a lovely neat job! I hope mine turns out just as nice, even though I've never laid laminate flooring before.
Saved to favourites to watch again when starting the project. Thanks.
You are genius
I'm learning so much from this channel..THANK YOU!
Nice job! Also great to see your channel doing so well, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Pouse! Just getting back into the swing of things after the sleepness nights of having a newborn 💤
@@AliDymock congratulations. Two children in and 5 years on and my sleepless nights haven't stopped! Hopefully you have a sleeper. Best of luck with the new family. 👍
Just bought this laminate hope it clicks in better than my first test pieces or it will be going back
Great video
Thanks!
Excellent job, came out looking really nice. Only small thing I’d change would be to cut the joining the straight ends of the trim at 45 degrees for a smoother finish, butting two pieces together never quite looks right and will over time separate showing the join … just a thought!
Damn it. Second again !!
Cheers for the info Ali 👍
Nice video! One question, before you applied the floor trims, did you clean the laminate? I heard that cleaning with a bit of acetone (the area where we will apply the trim) will help with the glue, is that correct?
just done the exact same flooring but in grey,just not sure how im going to attach the beading to a pvc conservatory as i dont think the nail gun would be ok.
Can you tell me what size brads you use in the nail gun for the scotia trim.thanks ks

Hi Ali, I see your dewalt collection is growing. What nailer did you buy and would you rate it? I’ve been looking for a Brad nailer and possibly a framing nailer for sometime now.
I bought the dewalt pair (think they only do one example of each) and they're brilliant and lower cost than other battery operated ones, defo recommend. Both have their uses so if you can pick up both and buy together to save money, I'd recommend it!
Done this job a few times now and only ever gone with the matching floor coloured scotia beading, never thought of using white. Looks really good that way!
Someone emailed me about it and it was an aha! moment. Defo think white is the way!
@@AliDymock yep, same moment when I watched this! Still got another room to do yet, so will try the white in there for sure, thanks Ali.
Hi buddy, I’m looking at putting this type of flooring down in our living room in a greyish colour either 8mm or 12mm but not sure what thickness to go for and if it makes a difference?
Also with have Virgin tv which comes in from across the other side of room and when the carpet was laid the fitter did a nice tidy job by hiding the cable in a channel under the underlay across the room to the tv so you don’t see the white cable, Can this still be done in the same way with flooring or is there another way? Any help would be great.
Thanks
Hey Adam, I've done another vid where I do laminate floor in some detail and would recommend 12mm if you can afford it: ruclips.net/video/WoABx5obrXY/видео.html.
Yes, I did the same with ethernet cable to this room in a previous vid: ruclips.net/video/K549FZ463Xs/видео.html. I just hid it in the underlay of the carpet. The problem with going with laminate is that the underlay is thinner so it probably won't fit in, even if you cut out a space so when I came to do the floor insulation and took off the floor boards I relocated my cable under the joists, which is probably your best option. However you may get away with tucking it under your skirting so first job is to pull up the carpet along the route the tv cable can go and see if there is a gap to hide it in. Alternatively if you are taking off your skirting, the gap around the underlay AND laminate will provide a good space to run it in. If like me in this video, you leave the skirting in place and use trim then you can't. Anyway, that's some options for you my man.
That XPS stuff gives me a terrible rash, no idea what they put in the stuff :D - did this last year and made the mistake of not starting at the door side. For the rest of my life those little gaps are going to haunt me...
Oh no! I wonder what could be in it to do that. I didn't have any reaction fortunately but it's good to be aware of.
Ha, sometimes when I'm DIYing, I can obsess over a little thing that I probably won't notice in the long run but gaps around flooring would probably haunt me!
Ali. Are you still about making videos?
Good video, a handy hint for you. If planning on painting the skirting or trim you can tape masking tape to the laminate under the trim so it pokes out from the trim. Then you can paint your skirting and trim easily. Once paint is dry run a knife around the tape and peel the tape away. The tape under the skirting is invisible and you won't have paint on your floor.
How do you find the nailer? I have heard reliabilty issues with the non gas versions of these types of tools.
Interesting trick, I would have thought the tape would be visible even if running a utility knife along the trim/skirting but good to know. Yeh the nailer is fantastic, I think everyone has their preference - I can't be faffing around with gas and cleaning out guns personally but I'm not a tool geek - I'm more interested in the project so whatever tool is easiest and causes me least grief is my preference. Others like to tinker! If you check out my third vid in my fencing vid I use a gas paslode, didn't enjoy it, though it was a probably down to being a crappy rental.
@@AliDymock cheers. I saw the tape trick on the skill builder channel. Worth following if you haven't already.
Next time you can use a biscuit cutter or undercutting tool to trim the skirting so you don't need trim.
you know, I thought about that but how do you get the last row underneath? It would have to be flush with the edge of the skirting so if the laminate shrinks there'd be a gap right? I suppose you could just take off skirting on one side only.
@@AliDymock you prep the plank by removing the rebate of the groove. You then can place it under the skirt, and slide it back into the other laid floor peice with some wood glue.
Most manufacturers describe this as option "B" or other method where you need to do this modification to the T+G to enable planks to slide without the click element. Which can happen in some circumstances.
You were lucky that starting with a full plank left you finishing with a good size cut width. Always measure so you don't end up with a silther!
Ah yeh that’s smart. I’ll think about that option next time, thanks for the tip.
