Laminate not joining

Question

We have started laying Wickes laminate flooring and as we have reached the centre of the room the joints are not sitting flush.

Duncan · Accepted Answer

This usually happens if the rows previus have not been properly clicked together. Over a few more rows this becomes more obvious.

Craig · Answer

Is the floor level your laying on also you need to go back to where they meet correctly and level it up

Joe · Answer

They have to be slotted in correctly or you will see the gaps. You have to make sure they are all slotted in firmly and correctly to get a perfect finish.

Sheldon · Answer

Refer back to where the floor was level and was joining correctly. This should identify any high spots of uneven ground. Also allign z spare off cut(something you can hit) to see if it’s just a defected piece

Jason · Answer

Have you tried adjusting the pieces or checking if the subfloor is level? Sometimes a small tweak can make a big difference in getting those joints to sit nicely.

Jake · Answer

I would have to come to take a look to see what the problem is

Paul · Answer

Most likely to be a previous row that has not been locked in properly which will make the flooring not to match up and will get worse the further you go

Julian · Answer

You have not squared up the first line of laminate flooring as you have found out with gaps in centre of room

Nicholas · Answer

Gaps can appear when the laminate is not clicked together properly. It would also be worth checking if the floor is level.
