Install quarter-round shoe molding to cover the expansion gap around the edge of the flooring (figure A). The quarter-round will add a finished look to the floor and help hide irregularities. Measure each wall, and cut each piece to length. Use a miter saw to make 45-degree cuts for inside and outside corners. Nail the quarter-round into place, making sure you don't nail through the laminate flooring. You may want to use a pneumatic nailer to speed up the process (figure B). Use a reducer strip (figure C) to make a visual transition between the laminate floor and another type of floor covering such as carpet. Cut the metal mounting strip to the appropriate length, and secure it to the floor with screws (figure D). Then cut the reducer strip to length, and snap it into the mounting strip.
