I am currently renovating our house and want to replace the flooring in the hallway. I have already removed the old carpet and now plan to install laminate flooring over the flat subfloor. However, my hallway has seven doors, and the wooden door frames are quite intricate. I’m wondering how professionals cut the laminate planks so that they fit precisely around the door frames. I don’t really know how to measure or transfer the shape onto the plank. How do the experts do this?

Ricardo-130 Jan 2016 04:42This is actually quite simple, and experience helps here. For a new build, the laminate flooring is installed first, and then the door frames are fitted.
In an older building, the flooring is laid up to the door frame, then cut out and adjusted to fit. I measure everything precisely, so no templates are needed.
