How to install laminate flooring under toilet.
If you re installing a new floor pedestal sink and toilet you should install the laminate flooring first so it s under the sink and toilet.
Because laminate flooring floats above the sub floor on top of underlayment it will expand and contract slightly with the temperature and humidity of the room.
The toilet has to be removed and the flooring cut to go around the floor drain.
Installing under a toilet after you remove the toilet which is often a two person job you need to measure the position of the flange and cut a hole for it in the flooring using a jigsaw.
Floating floors are an easy mess free way to install new flooring without necessarily having to remove the existing flooring.
Then the toilet is reset so the base covers the cuts around the drain.

You typically use the same technique for laying the flooring around the toilet flange the round fitting at the floor under the toilet that you use when laying around a post.
