I have a question about installing the click-together floating laminate flooring: How do you install it under an overhang, where you can’t position the plank vertically and rotate it into position? I’m thinking of a wall that has a cabinet overhang at one end and a baseboard heater to go under at the other end. I imagine I can work one end in to place by sliding it horizontally once the connection has been begun, but what about the “far end”?
Thanks!

Sue, start with one under the most impossible overhang. Continue on to the other end. BUT, two planks short of completion, get that last pc in and slide it down to under the other overhang. Insert the second to last pc and then pull back the last into it. Make sure you have solid to pry against to get it back in. Any expansion gap will be covered with shoe under that cab.
A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Why didn't I think of that?! Thanks! Sue
In addition to what Calvin said, most click together floors can be seated with their tapping block. Start at one end with the pieces laying flat, as much of the tongue and groove seated as possible and use the tapping block with a hammer to seat the two pieces. Works like magic.
