Remove quarter round or baseboard, Take the underlayment and over the length of the room and cut to its size.

 

(Special note: plastic side down when laying the foam mat in place, tape the seams for a watertight seal)

 

The laminate may be laid in the full board in place and measure for when the cuts need to be made. Use a miter saw to make the cuts. (Caution, please use safety equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, and distractions or any on falling or tripping)
