Below is a step by step guide to laying "click" style laminate flooring.
Start in a corner and lay the first row of boards along the longest straight wall - the tongue side of the board should face the wall. Place plastic spacers between the board and the wall at 60cm intervals.
The ends of the boards will be tongue and groove. Join them clicking the tongue locking mechanism together.
You will probably need to cut the last board of the row to fit it in. Mark it with a try square and saw it with the finished surface facing up.
Begin the second row, starting with the off-cut from the first row. Always stagger the end joints of adjacent rows by at least 30cm.
Continue across the room, pushing the completed rows firmly together and adding more plastic spacers along the two side walls as you go.
Fit each board together by gently tapping the edge block against the grooved side of each board. http://www.laminate-flooting-info.ws
