BBB on Sep 15, 2014The guys at the big box stores are clueless. When I bought the flooring they were telling me to glue it down and it's a glueless system. Don't think I want to go that route. Was hoping a good handyman/handygal type who has worked with laminate would have an answer on this forum.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Sep 15, 2014@BBB Yes you can run the boards across the hall rather then down the long wall as they suggest. But you will waste a lot of material doing this. However there is no reason why you cannot use full boards across the floor. Just remember to leave about a half inch total between each side for expansion of the boards. Normally you would want at least a half inch on both sides, but the width of the hall is not enough that the floor will expand more then a total of a half inch all together.Helpful Reply
