Need some tips now that I'm going to put the same laminate flooring on the wall behind the bed that I will also lay as a floor? IKEA floor.

Do I start from the top? Gypsum behind, so do I need to frame it for something to shoot the brad nail into with the nailer? Do I also glue for extra security on the frames?

Need all the tips I can get as I can't find much information about this on the internet!

Currently sleeping in the TV room :surprised::seenoevil: A room under renovation with a step ladder, spotlight, and electrical cords on a laminate floor. A plastic bag is seen in the corner next to a wall socket. Bedroom with striped bedding and pillows, next to large windows overlooking a lake and deck; indoor plants line the windowsill. A bedroom with a white bed, pink bedding, white bedside table with lamp and books, and dark laminate flooring. A window with a plant is visible.
 
I would probably skip the spikes and just glue...

Feels easiest to start from the bottom...

I have received different advice when talking to other people, and it might be good to "shoot" in some brads on the wall because the floor will be attached to the wall... but I have no idea, and I can guess as much as I want :seenoevil::crysmile:

It feels like it must be right and proper from the start.:cool:

Shooting in laminate rarely turns out well. Now, it's not exactly high-end HPL on an Ikea floor, but I wouldn't do it. Start from the bottom, join the first 2-3 rows down on the floor and glue up the whole sheet. Then you can glue one row at a time.

But you can usually shoot brads through almost anything :strong::cool:

Yes, but if it turns around, it's not so elegant. If you're worried about it falling down, you can let go of that thought. However, you might regret gluing things up sometimes, as half of the drywall comes off when you want to remove it.

Of course, I'm worried because I've never installed a laminate floor on a wall, and that's why I'm writing here to get tips on how to proceed from those who know or have done it before, as there is so little information online about this.

Can I use this when I glue it up, and how much "sättlim" should I apply...:seenoevil: The risk is great that, being unsure, I will apply too much to no avail...:oops:
Adhesive tube labeled "Pattex No More Nails," used for bonding surfaces such as wood and concrete, with red nozzle attached.

I would probably put a few (5 maybe) "blobs" per row... If you're not going to screw shelves into the laminate, it only needs to hold it against the wall..

Edit: I have no experience with "no more nails," but generally one is allergic to catchy names and marketing... Buy a glue from a quality brand that suits the different materials...
 
There will be a bedside table on one side of the bed that you screw into the wall, but it is not very heavy, just a few smaller shelves on a "pillar".
