Fitting laminate flooring around toilet bowl.
Fitting laminate around the flange.
Place each template on the appropriate plank and trace the pattern with a pencil.
Start with the flooring 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.
Laying a floor may seem impossible but that is far from the truth.
Do you have a toilet pillar or another round object in the room.
I would recommend taking the toilet up and extending the flange up the quarter inch or so additional thickness that the floor will take up and then put it back down.
Your templates need to be the exact same size as your planks.
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.
You could floor around it but i d recommend against it.
Use your jigsaw to cut the pattern out of the laminate planks.
