Laminate is designed to be installed as a floating floor on an even subfloor with adequate expansion space around the full perimeter, including under door casings, kitchen islands and cabinets. Fuzion laminate, similar to other laminates, will expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity requiring the space to float and expand freely. Ensure that the subfloor is stable, that baseboards have not been nailed into any planks and that there is sufficient expansion space available around the entire installation.
