How to Install the Last Row of Laminate Flooring - Installation Tutorial
- Universal Installation: This tutorial walks you a universal installation of the last row of laminate flooring. It can be used in any type of room including one that may have obstacles, cabinets or tight spaces.
Step 1: Measure the Gap: In most cases, the last row of flooring will need to be cut in order to fit the space. You will need to measure the gap between the last installed plank and the wall. Remember to factor in the expansion gap!
Tip: Measure the gap at each end of the plank to get an accurate measurement. Walls can bow in or out causing a slightly different measurement at the beginning and end of a plank.
Step 2: Expansion Gap: Be sure to exclude the expansion gap in your measurement! .25” for a room under 30 ft. in length, .5” for over 30 ft. in length. Your moldings should cover this gap.
Step 3: Mark your Plank: Once the width of the plank is determined, mark the plank with a pencil according to the cut needed. Use another plank as your straight edge guide.
Tip: If the side of the plank with a locking system is against the wall, you will want to trim the plank so it has a smooth, solid edge butting against the wall.
Step 4: Cut your Plank: Use a saw to cut the plank with the decorative side up. We recommend using a jigsaw or table saw.
Jigsaw: Use a laminate cutting blade, which has a medium tooth, downstroke blade.
Table Saw: Use a medium tooth carbide blade with upside down teeth.
Step 5: Lock in the Plank: Add spacers to the end of the plank. Tilt the plank into the locking system at a 45 degree angle.
Tip: Before installing, check to make sure the plank fits. You may have to cut more of the plank to fit if your previous cut wasn’t as precise.
Step 6: Use a Pull Bar: Use a pull bar along the side of the plank, pushing the plank down and into the locking system securely Do this along the full plank.
Hint: Depending on the locking system, you may need to connect several planks together and install all at one time. The ends may not be able to connect plank by plank.
Step 7: The Next Plank: Repeat steps 1-4 to measure and cut the next plank for installation.
Step 8: Trim the Track: In most cases, it will be hard to lock your plank in two both locking systems. You can trim the track down with a blade or end of the pull bar to prepare for gluing the planks together.
Step 9: Glue the Planks: After the track is trimmed, apply woodworkers glue on the joint. Position the next plank on an angle to connect into the locking system without lowering the edge onto the glue.
Step 10: Tap Together: Use the pull bar on the side of the plank like previously stated. To secure the first and second plank, use a tapping block to connect the ends of the first and second plank in the last row.
Step 11 – Continue Installing: Continue installing the planks until you are at the end of the row. Now you’re ready to install your moldings!

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

1. How to Locate
Cables, Pipes &
Studs
Before drilling, it is essential to know
the whereabouts of cables and pipes, as
to avoid an accident. Our guide will help
you quickly locate these items in your
wall so you can go ahead and get your
work done.
www.topline.ie
How to GuidesTopline - Home, Garden & DIY
2. Step 1: The Old-Fashioned Way
• The most basic method is
listening for a change in pitch
while lightly tapping the wall
with a hammer.
• Tapping the centre of an
unsupported plasterboard span
gives a very hollow sound.
• As you continue to tap your
hammer across the surface of
the plasterboard, the sound will
change to a duller, more solid
sound, indicating the presence
of a stud.
3. Step 2: Using a Stud-Finder
• A stud-finder uses a sensor to
locate wires or pipes behind the
plasterboard.
• Place the stud-finder on the wall
and press the activating button.
• Slowly slide it in one direction
until the indicator light glows
and there is a beeping sound.
• Most stud-finders will locate
pipes and electrical cables as
well as timber.
4. Step 3: Locating the Left Edge of the
Stud
• Using the method above,
slowly slide the stud-finder
across the wall from left to
right.
• When the indicator light
illuminates and the device
beeps, place a piece of
masking tape on the wall (or
mark it with a pencil), this will
show the left hand edge of the
stud.
5. Step 4: Locating the Right Edge of
the Stud
• Repeating the process but
sliding the stud-finder from
right to left, you will locate the
right hand edge of the hidden
baton.
6. Step 5: Confirming Location
• To make doubly sure you have
correctly located the timber
work within the wall, drive a
panel pin through the
plasterboard.
• You will feel the resistance of
the timber if you have
correctly found the stud.
