How to install laminate flooring under toilet.
Floating floors are an easy mess free way to install new flooring without necessarily having to remove the existing flooring.
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.
Toilets seldom present a problem when installing laminate flooring because you have to remove the toilet before laying the floor.
You typically use the same technique for laying the flooring around the toilet flange the round fitting at the floor under the toilet that you use when laying around a post.
Since you re raising the level of the floor you ll likely need to raise the level of the flange that skirts the drain as well.
Then the toilet is reset so the base covers the cuts around the drain.

The toilet has to be removed and the flooring cut to go around the floor drain.
