Discontinued Laminate Flooring

Is there a source that sells discontinued laminate flooring. My kitchen floor was manufactured by Claussen, installed roughly 4 years ago. The local flooring:wall store says it was discontinued and cannot be pruchase any longer. Thanks for any advice.

Sorry, but internet searches turned up nothing for sources of Claussen laminate, it's manufacturer, etc.

Laminate styles are discontinued all the time - this is why it's good to buy an extra box or two.

IIRC Claussen was sold by CCA global. That would be Carpet One, Flooring America or Stone Mountain stores. You may try calling one of their stores.

Expansion gap - is it too late?

Z

zuzu12 on Nov 08, 2007

I got engineered hardwood floor installed in my living room (by a “professional”). I noticed that some of the boards started buckling. I suspect that there is not enough room to expand. Will it help if I widen a gap between the floors and wall? (there is no room for expansion at balcony door) Is there anything I can do? I appreciate any ideas.Read More

Wood on concrete

I got a big project, removing carpet and installing engineered wood floors on a concrete slab. So I got the engineered wood, got 6 mil plastic sheathing as vapor barier, and got enough 3/4" underlayment to cover the whole room. I definitely need something for vapor barier since our backyard floods too easily. And the underlayment is for nailing the floor. I was thinking to cover the floor with poly sheath. Put the underlayment at 45 degrees and use 6 tapcon screws to fix in place (that makes a screw roughly at every 4 feet square). Then nail the tongue-and-groove engineered wood. I never did this before, but I think I can manage. Yesterday on HGTV, I saw they just glued the hardwood on concrete with some king of glue supposed to be also a vapor barier. Wow, that is much simpler (although I have all the materials for the other approach). I definitely need some advise. I am just doing 200 sq.ft. room for trial now, but the eventual intention is to do the whole house which is about 2,000 sq.ft. So every bit of savings on time and money counts.Read More
