Laminate flooring traditionally uses largepopular because its performance is excellent. is not a difficult matter, if you follow the recommendations of experts, then everything can be done with your own hands. This procedure can be carried out in different ways, but the most reliable and practical is traditionally the laying of the laminate with glue. This requires the availability of tools such as:

The advantages and disadvantages of stacking with glue
This method has both undoubted merits, and very significant drawbacks. If we talk about the advantages, then they are the following:
Laying the laminate on the glue will prolong the life of the floor for several years, in contrast to the locking method of laying. Now regarding the shortcomings:
To lay the laminate on the glue it is necessary to chooseThe latter should be taken very seriously, because the quality of the work largely depends on this. In construction shops, water resistant glue is widely available today, which is excellent for this. If you use other glue for this purpose, this can cause the connection points to swell and the attractive appearance of the floor covering will be hopelessly damaged. Glue on a water basis (especially PVA) should in no case be used. Before applying the adhesive it is necessary to study the instructions. It is necessary to pay special attention to the amount of glue that is needed, the excess should be removed carefully. Back to contents</a>
How is laminate laid?
The basis for coverage must bedry, even and firm. In order to assess the smoothness of the coating, it is necessary to take into account the size of the gap between the floor surface and a 2 m long strip. If the floor is uneven, then it must be carefully leveled. The elements of the laminate floor need to be glued together, for this purpose it is necessary to use the construction of the groove-groove. 
Thanks to the glue applied to the ends of the boardlaminate, at the end of the work, the joints will not be visible. Laying should begin along the wall in the direction of the light. Then along the walls it is necessary to leave at least 10 mm of gap, for this it is necessary to use spacer wedges. In this regard, the presence of gaps is a prerequisite, since the laminate is a hygroscopic material (that is, it absorbs moisture well). As for the size, it may vary depending on the temperature and humidity characteristics of the room. It is best to use trimming plates that have a length of 40 cm during installation. The glue should be as follows: the first row with a groove to the wall, and the second should start from the trimmed part of the first row. The first 3 rows must be checked (a ruler and a cord are used for this), they must first be laid dry without glue. If everything is in order, then the first 3 rows of the laminate should be glued in the most accurate way, while all connections should be accurate and straight. This stage should be treated with special care, since the quality of laying the laminate of the entire floor depends on it. Back to the table of contents</a>
Useful recommendations
After a certain area is laid out,it takes time (at least 2 hours) for the glue to dry completely, then the laying process can be continued. From the last row, you need to saw off an element of the appropriate length. To do this it is necessary so that there is a gap, then the connection with the previous row is realized, for this it is necessary to use a special device. In order for everything to be secure, spacer wedges must be inserted between the floor and the wall. In the doorways, gaps must be made, they must also be near the walls and at the junctions with other types of floors. If the length of the walls in the room exceeds 6 m and the width of 5 m, then the sum of the allowances must be at least 15 mm. If the walls in the room have a length exceeding 10 m, and the width exceeds 8 m, then you need to take care of additional gaps. Then such gaps can be closed with a special profile. After the glue has completely dried (and this can take 12 hours), you can pull out the support wedges. Floors laid in this way can be used one day after laying. So everything can be done without much difficulty.
