I am building an interior platform in a friend's condo this coming weekend. Basically, it is like a floating deck inside his condo. It will be a 10' x 12' platform 18" above the concrete floor (it cannot be attached to the back or side walls - don't ask
) - so, I am building it as a free standing deck. Instead of deck boards, we'll be putting 3/4" T&G for the subfloor.
The question I have is in regards to the laminate flooring he wants to put on top of the platform. The problem lies in the fact that the open end of the platform (3 sides are next to walls) leaves me wondering how to finish off the open end of the laminate flooring. We will be putting trim along the side and back walls to take care of those ends of the flooring. Also, the open end of the platform will be the starter row for the laminate. I was thinking of putting a 2" x 4" attached to the front of the platform and having it raised above the level of the floor but I am unsure of how it will look when it's finished. I would be grateful for any suggestions that any of you may have.
Thanks,
