You will need to cut your laminate flooring to fit the shape
of your room, remembering to leave space for items such as
pipework.
| Before cutting always mark a line where you need to
cut, for complicated shapes we suggest making a paper
or cardboard template as it is easy to get an angle the
wrong way round. |
 |
| Always apply masking tape to the cutting area as this
helps reduce chips. Make sure the line is clear as it
will reduce confusion when you cut the board. |
 |
Use a power circular saw or chopsaw with a carbide
toothed blade and cut from the non-decorative underside
of the boards to avoid chipping. Alternatively, use
a jigsaw hand saw and cut from the top of the boards.
Ensure you cut the planks carefully - they are strong
and durable but may chip during cutting if care is not
taken. |

Cutting the boards around door architrave can be fiddly.
Either make a template from a piece of paper or card. Often
an easier way is to saw a piece from the bottom of the architrave,
the thickness of the board. Fit a metal or wooden threshold
strip designed for the purpose over the edge of the flooring.
It is better to do your cutting away from the work area -
it keeps everything simpler and cleaner
