REASONS TO CHOOSE LAMINATE It Disassembles Fast and Easily.As it is a floating floor, laminate is not attached to the subfloor, so no laborious scraping of mortar or adhesive. After you have removed baseboards and/or shoe molding which hold down the edges of the floor, it is as fast as taking a jigsaw puzzle apart, piece by piece.

Setting doors and base first creates fewer problems than the other way around. Cutting the jambs off allows for a clean, tight fit.

If the base is held up the thickness of the backer board and tile plus 1/8″ or less, then the gap, if any, can be easily grouted with the rest of the floor, or caulked if you prefer, not requiring shoe molding. Of course, you can work over a finished floor (tile or wood). Sometimes it is necessary, but as a general rule, installing doors and trim first creates fewer problems and makes for a better looking job.
