laminate flooring

Hi all. I am putting down 12mm floating laminate floor right throughout downstairs with the hope to flow the laminate through doorways without a transition strip for a really slick look at the end (same level subfloor important). It is a concrete subfloor. Most of the floor is really nice and...
