did you do the work or pay someone for the kitchen? the laminate floor need room for the temp/humidity changes, need to float and not be under the cabs. Really should be 1/4 3/8th short around the perimeter. And cover the gap with shoe, that island/hutch thing isn’t going to help. That might be a problem unless the house isn’t drafty, I see outside walls, whats under the kitchen, is it finished living space? Did you put it down before you turned the furnaces on this year? ---

My fridge and stove are set up the same way, a lot of houses are like that. It’s not like the stove is on 24/7 and fridges are well insulated. Very nice work, great taste. ---

I kept it because I just bought it after the floor was installed. > [@Studderin](#): > > who thought of that fridge and stove setup? The old fridge was located were the double pantry’s are but I bought a new LG and was to big to fit where the old fridge was. After mapping out where the new cabinets are being placed I really had no choice but to place the fridge where it is now because it would not fit in it original spot. I also could not move any further to away from the stove because there is a window there and I just installed pella windows. > [@Studderin](#): > > did you do the work or pay someone for the kitchen? > > the laminate floor need room for the temp/humidity changes, need to float and not be under the cabs. Really should be 1/4 3/8th short around the perimeter. And cover the gap with shoe, that island/hutch thing isn’t going to help. That might be a problem unless the house isn’t drafty, I see outside walls, whats under the kitchen, is it finished living space? Did you put it down before you turned the furnaces on this year? I did it myself for the first time. The house is completely foam/insulated: walls, basement joist, basement perimeter and the attic by energysmart (drafts shouldn’t be a problem.) I just had a Lennox furnance installed so air control has not been a problem either. So far with the weather changes, I haven’t had a problem with the floor. ---
