Questions and Answers for ROBERTS Laminate and Wood Flooring Installation Kit

A:  You’d have to check with your local store to be sure. Most will do flooring installation.

A:  Yes they do. However I did my own install. Sorry I cant help with more details.

A:  The great thing about Home Depot is that if they sell it, they normally have someone who can also install it. So if you can find laminate flooring at home depot, then yes they will most likely have someone in that department that you can talk to about home installation.

A:  Please contact your local Home Depot for this information. Thank you!

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, to better answer your specific question, please contact your local store for more information about installations.

A:  This kit contains the pieces shown, solely as a tool to facilitate laminate flooring installation. Any coordinating or transition pieces would be purchased separately, to match your flooring choice. BTW this kit worked quite well and is definitely needed in order to properly install laminate flooring per manufacturer's design.

A:  I don't know if home depot have it that nosing pieces

A:  I'm not aware of any. It includes horizontal and vertical aligning tools, and spacing device (spacers) for maintaining alignment at wall junctions.

A:  There are none of the pieces you mentioned in the kit. It is a basic installation kit to align end to end and side to side with accessories to maintain wall to flooring requirements for expansion of the flooring to prevent buckling. I hope this answers your question.

Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, to better answer your question about transition pieces, please contact our HD.com customer service department at 800-430-3376 call any day between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. EST, or call your local store, they can either answer your question or transfer you to your local store to answer your specific question.

A:  Yes, I did. I bought this product for laminate flooring of basement. It will help you to install.

A:  no

A:  Not too sure what your question is here. Installing wood or laminate flooring is pretty easy as long as you put in the time to prep your area and lay out your pattern. Once you have this accomplished it is pretty easy. If you are going to do a large area then buying or renting a miter saw with a blade of 80 teeth or more would be well worth the time it saves and the end result.

A:  yes

A:  Yes

A:  I bought mine more or less a year ago and was useful to install 14 box of hardwood floor.

A:  This will work with all click together laminate and engineered flooring assembly. White rubber mallet, Regular claw hammer and the right saw blade on your chop saw and you are good to go. Don't hurry the hammering and make sure your initial engagement of the two pieces is on point with the least amount of sliding as possible. Random joints. Don't keep a pattern like a brick course or with a tile job, make it look natural. 1/3 2/3 and full length it the best staggering of joints with least amount of waste. Have fun. It's quite a rewarding project for do-it-yourselfers. Start the room without baseboards and add new 5 1/4 "baseboard AFTER the flooring is done givesthe room a grand appearance and no need for 1/4 round either.

A:  My flooring was the Home Decorators Collection brand from Home Depot. It uses click-lock which must be a proprietary name like Uniclic. I can't see them being much different. If you already have your flooring, you could open the installation guide for my flooring and compare the diagrams that show the connection grooving. That might help. Also, wherever the Uniclic flooring is sold probably has a similar installation kit to compare.

A:  Yes, I think so. I went to "https://onflooring.com/uniclic-flooring" and watched the video. The materials they present in the video mirror the components of the installation kit. I would recommend you watch that video. I think the tools you asked about are ideal for installing the flooring you asked about.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this tool is very helpful during the installation of Uniclic product.

A:  Yes. All went smoothly for me and this was the first time I put in a floating vinyl Plank flooring.

A:  yes

A:  Just tell them not to hit it as hard with the hammer but it's the same concept they will help knock in the seams.

A:  yes you can.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this tool kit can be used to assist in the installation of LVP products. You may need a hand roller to secure the end joints when connecting the planks (per manufacturer instructions) A rubber mallet is recommended to protect against damaging the joints.

A:  Just used for a 1000 sq ft of it over the last 2 day. Worked great!

A:  I would refer you to the installation guide for this type of flooring. This guide should be accessible on the Home Depot web page for the flooring product.

A:  Yes

A:  That is what it is made for. Works fine.

A:  Yes, it works just as good on vinyl plank flooring as well..

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. 1/4" perimeter expansion gapping is required for flooring installations. You may want to consider adding wall base and/or quarter round molding to create a more finished look to the installation.

A:  There is supposed to be a 1/8th inch gap so floor can expand and float. The base trim should cover the gaps from wall to flooring..

A:  If you mean, gaps that were created because of the necessary spacing by using the Installation Kit, then you need to find the matching wood trim for your flooring, which must be measured and cut to cover the gaps. Gaps may be 1/2", so a good trim example is the 3/4" inch wide Quarter Round Molding which matches, or closely matches, the name of your flooring color. Should have a miter saw to accomplish this cutting.

A:  Shoe molding.

A:  At the install phase: There should be a gap between the wall and the floor for expansion. Don't exceed 1/4" or you will have problems when you add the trim/shoe molding. After installation phase: Increase the size of your shoe molding if you can or you might have to rip-cut a floor board piece to fill in the excessive gap.

A:  base molding

A:  Depends on how large the gap is. You are supposed to have at least a half inch gap between your wall and the end of your wood floor to allow for expansion. This gap is usually concealed with a baseboard or on top of your regular baseboards they can install a smaller round baseboard called quarter round trim. It sounds like they install the wood floor left a gap between the wall in the floor and never put quarter round. If the gap is very large then you'll have to remove the baseboard and cut a strip of flooring (would even if it's only a half inch or three-quarter inch thick) so where you only have a half inch gap and then cover it back up with the same baseboard you removed

A:  Have you installed Corner round to fill the gaps?

A:  Quarter Round Moulding

A:  3/4 round molding needs to be install next to your current molding to cover the gaps

A:  ONE , YOU KEEP REUSING THE BLOCKS AS YOU GO DOWN THE FLOOR. WE DID A LOT MORE THAN THAT AND ONLY USED ONE, THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAD WAS THAT THE SLIDE KEEPS BENDING AND HE WOULD TAKE IT OUT AND STRAIGHTEN IT OUT ON THE HITCH OF THE PICKUP.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. The Roberts Laminate and Floating Wood Flooring Installation Kit comes complete with a tapping block, pull bar and 50 wedge spacers, designed for the do-it-yourself installer. If you feel you may need extra spacers you may want to consider Laminate and Wood Flooring Wedge Spacers (30-Pack). Always follow the flooring manufactures installation procedures for perimeter spacing etc.

A:  ONE

A:  You only need one kit. I just did the same with 273 sq. ft.

A:  You should only need one kit. I have put in over 500 sq. ft with the same kit.

A:  I would not glue this type but I don't know for sure how it would work.

A:  No, it has the pad and moisture barrier that must be laid first.

A:  No, concrete requires a moisture barrier which is a sheet of plastic. If it is a Terrazzo floor you would be able to glue it down. It is a pretty thin laminate and is not the thickness of the sample blocks they give you at the store. Being so thin it benefits from a quality upgraded padding

A:  not if the floor is floating.

A:  well I used laminant plank flooring .. and there are lots of different types of flooring.. I would say this no your not supposed to because it should be able to move with the floor ... however I needed to glue the last few planks in a small section to the floor not together due to the furniture puling a plank apart

A:  You can use either adhesive designed for hardwood/laminate flooring or a nailer made for installing tongue and groove flooring. some of the less expensive laminates use an underlayment and the tongue and grooves are glued, so the flooring "floats".

A:  you dont need glue or nails laminate flooring should be install floating over an underlayment thank you

A:  My laminate flooring is 12mm so there was no need for glue except around sink areas. Important tip for using glue. Adhesive should only be placed in between the planks and not underneath it. It is important to remember that you do not want to attach the flooring to the subfloor, but just secure the planks together. It is also advisable to apply glue along the entire top of the tongue of the first plank and then the bottom of the groove on the second plank for the best adherence. Also, be sure to use glue that is lowest in moisture.

A:  No Glue, No Nails. Reason I love Laminate Flooring.

A:  no, I love my floor i takes a while to get it started and the closer you are to being done the faster it goes

A:  Yes there is
