The 800lb Gorilla In The Room - Refrigerators On Floating Floors

[Ernesto]

It is not a concern, until there is another very heavy object sitting on the flooring across the room.

Oh, so I can like nail down a portion of a floating vinyl plank and nothing will happen like as depicted in these photos? okie dokie.

I don't see a nail?

It depends... The lock must have been compromised. Low spot. Beating it. Bad to begin with.

Doorway separation?

Doorway separation?

I was using the term "nail" loosely. No nail, just a counter top sitting on the allure preglued plank. Seperation in front of it.

The counter is one of those open cheapie ones from IKEA. Could hardly be as heavy as a large fridge.

Not sure what so wrong with it if theres some slight movement. The paper/shingle build up method for nailing down hardwood has been an accepted practice since they been nailing wood down.

Tar paper and shingles don't compress and the floor is getting nailed down. If that cardboard compresses and its in a spot where it will get walked on you better believe those end joints will separate.

Ahhh,,,, The famous, if.

"If" it did, I would have gotten the call by now, since a guarantee it for as long as I'm breathing. The experiment is still in progress 7 years later.

I would ask, have you ever tried to compress that cardboard? I have and it aint as easy as it has been presented.

Corrugated will compress a lot. Chinese corrugated cardboard will compress 98%

Hey, the preschoolers in Chinese factories do the best that they can.

I was flattening some out once for something...forgot.....had to get my hammer and rub it down, stepping on it wouldn't do it. So yea, flatten it out first then it won't collapse on ya.

The shims they sometimes include in trans & bullnose mold work well for...shimming.
