Hello
We want to install a floating vinyl floor in our new build (we want a floating floor, not glued).
We have chosen Modular One with integrated cork underlayment for impact sound insulation.
What else do we need?
PE foil and sealing tape to tape the joints of the PE foil.
Can we also use PE foil and tape from Prinz?
I also have a question about installation.
Upstairs, we want to lay the floor in 3 rooms plus the hallway.
Can we install the floor continuously from room to room without expansion joints or transition strips?
We would prefer not to use transition strips because we don’t like how they look.
Will there be any problems if we install the floor continuously?
What about the hallway?
We have an open staircase.
Can we lay the floor right up to the edge of the stair railing without an expansion joint?
Or do we definitely need an expansion joint between the floor and the edge of the stair railing?
What kind of finishing trim is recommended for the stairwell?
If we can lay the floor without an expansion joint next to the stair railing, then its height would be roughly the same as the edge of the stair railing.
Thank you very much for your help

Benutzer1238 Apr 2023 18:46In the Parador guide I read, it says that the Modular One could also be fully glued down. Are you sure the floor in the picture is installed as a floating floor? And what exactly speaks against a finishing strip? There are excellent delicate solutions available in all colors. Why is an expansion gap preferred there?
