laminate flooring into a bay window.

Post by raggydan »

Hi all

New member here, can anyone advise me how to lay laminate flooring into a bay window?Obviously the the glueless type has to be tapped in to lock in position, which I cant do on a curved end!!

Thanks, Les.

Normally you can install the boards on a slight angle and then you don't need to tap them in.

Why not make it up outside the bay and then place into the bay.
Bay window laminate flooring. Done!

You can then take it out check for fit, adjust then start laying the rest from the bay?
