Laminate In Basement

Bigban

Hey everyone,
Im new here, but not new to installing flooring. done it a few times and know most about what is needed to know, except tomorrow i have a job in a basement in which there is a central post...
my main concern is how to work around it, do i just leave quarter inch spaces all along it and cut around it?
please help me out here, thanks everyone!

Ummm if you dont know that you dont know most of what is needed to call yourself a flooring contractor.

Contact Pergo and take a class

So let me get this Right.

Your a "flooring contractor" with no location or identity.

Your going to install a laminate floor below grade.

You haven't had any professional training or certifications.

You haven't even checked the manufacturer installaion guide.

You give contactors a bad name.

Thanks

the big 12 inch

go get a chainsaw and just cut that f***ing post rite out of your way!!!...There,now you know everything!!!

Have you considered an alternative to standard flooring for your basement?

Take a look at modular indoor / outdoor flooring tiles.

If leveling, moisture, and drainage is ever an issue, this is the answer.

They come in a variety of materials: Ipe (Brazilian Walnut), Granite, Slate, and Ceramic

They typically come in 12" x 12" and do not require a backer board.

I used carpet in my basement, but I covered the lolly with 1/2" rope. Started at the top with a dab of Liquid Nails and a clamp. Then wrapped the rope really tight around the post, top to bottom. Added a few dabs of LQ nails & clamp each foot or so. Still looks good after 15 years. Nice nautical theme and it doesn't hurt as much when a drunk srtumbles into it.
