For the flooring industry that is inch in 10 feet or inch in 6 feet.

This can cause buckling in the floor.
How to eliminate a too large or a too small gap.
All 120 volt circuits should be 12 gauge 2 wire with ground with 20 amp rated fixtures.
Smaller rooms like 10 x 10 bedroom will be fine with of expansion gap around the perimeter of the floor.
Locate weatherproof duplex outlets on the outside wall of the shop near each machinery access door.
In this case it is possible.
Dont think it was installed incorrectly but i do know that too big a gap can cause problems sometimes.
The subfloor flatness requirements for a floating floor are the same as for a glue down floor.
Hi nancy thanks for your comment.
With any floating floor it is necessary to have an expansion gap around the perimeter to allow the floor to float and expand and contract with temperature changes.
Example pole and i did a big commercial job with pergo select commercial instructions say 1 2 gap everywhere customer wanted cove base so to have proper gap we undercut the 1 2 drywall everywhere area was about 60 x90 with a small 5 x 7 hallway off to one side with 2 offices off the.
Use overhead retractable drop feeds for large free standing power tools and as convenience outlets around the perimeter of the repair and service work bays.
We recommend uninstalling the floor and reinstalling with a quarter inch expansion gap around the perimeter of your room.
For large expanses of floor there might not be adequate expansion joints.
The shower base can also be extended past the perimeter of the shower tray using dry pack mortar.
Expansion gaps are spaces left around the perimeter of rooms against fixed objects such as columns thresholds hearths baseboard and other stationary items built or secured into the framing structure of the home.
If the subfloor has peaks and valleys in it you could compromise the locking system of the flooring which could cause it to disengage and unlock.
The subfloor might have been too wet when the floor was installed over it.
Other installation mistakes can allow the floor to absorb too much moisture.
Firstly make sure that it is not about deformation.
Laminate flooring is designed to be installed as floated floor thus it is not nailed or glued to the sub floor and works as one big pancake that expands and contract with temperature humidity changes.
Sometimes when you close a door especially an old wooden door the gap is too narrow or there are no gaps at all.
Did not know at the time about the oatey or push fit flanges dooohhhhh.
If the subfloor is concrete it might not have a vapor barrier installed underneath.
Even though wood flooring used is no longer living and breathing it still reacts to moisture changes in the environment.
The ci bell was too high about 1 2 above finish floor level so decided to cut it off install new 3 pvc with soft adapter coupling with the 3 pvc sticking down into the ci 4 pipe.
