    So about to start laminate, got the laminate direct from manufacture so there was no shop to discuss with.

    Laminate is ac4 12mm.
    I've been reading you dont need a threshold unless the run is greater than 12 meters.

    I'm ataching the plans upstairs where I'm going to lay it, But do I need tresholds?

    If I do, Would I get away with just 1 in the less used rooms to break a stretch?

    You could put them in the doorways, that would make it easier to go from room to hall with the laminate. You can get some nice wooden ones to match the floor colour.

    Will also help with future alterations should you only want to change the flooring in one room, babies room for example.

    Room by room IMO, otherwise you will get issues with the minimum strip widths, minimum overlap with joins, optimum room layout as well as differential movement due to different room orientations for exposure to sun

    This question is more for me than you but what is a threshold in construction?

    I know its something to do with the floor under the door but I'm always abit unsure when ppl start talking about it.
