Why does my floor make noise when I walk on it? Just in the dining area! Thank you!
Assuming the floor didn't do this before you put in the laminate, the laminate was not properly installed. Did you acclimate the new flooring in the room before installation? (48 hours with the boxes open in the room it's being installed) Was the original floor level without bulges or indentations? Assuming this is the typical floating floor wood laminate, did you use the recommended pad between the original floor and the laminate? Did you leave the required space between the first and last strips where they meet the wall? There could be other problems I can't see. Contact the store where you bought it or the manufacturer if none of what I pointed out explains what may be wrong.
