How to install laminate flooring around a toilet. Some of the laminate flooring is also known as floating laminate flooring where you can install it without using adhesive nails or staples. Laying a floor may seem impossible. Because laminate flooring floats above the sub floor on top of underlayment it will expand and contract slightly with the temperature and humidity of the room. The only tedious parts of installing this type of flooring is when you are trying to install it around obstacles in the toilet such as doorways bathtubs sinks and toilets.

The toilet has to be removed and the flooring cut to go around the floor drain. Then the toilet is reset so the base covers the cuts around the drain. See your hardware store for a flange extension kit. You will need a jigsaw to cut the laminate flooring to fit around the flange.

Do you have a toilet pillar or another round object in the room. The flange is a ring that holds the anchor bolts for your toilet and the wax ring. Installing laminate there means working around. If you re installing a new floor pedestal sink and toilet you should install the laminate flooring first so it s under the sink and toilet.

Use a template of each plank to obtain the shape that you need for each edge that will need to be cut to fit around the flange.
