Those who attempted this, how did u make sure the row 's edge under the slide, stays down and dosen't catch when the slide comes in. Any ideas appreciated.
I cut the carpet in front of the slide leaving just enough so I could staple it down securely. Then I used a "T" transition piece to cover the edge of the carpet and the edge of the laminate.
I got the transition piece from Armstrong who made the laminate. They had several different types. Laminate to linoleum, laminate to carpet, etc.
In front of the dinette where I wanted to use oak baseboard I stapled the laminate to the floor. That was years ago and there has been no problems with expansion.
A commercial installer said they do it all the time and don't have any buckling.

I made a piece of oak trim that flooring slips under. Here is a picture showing its profile.
Oak strip about 13' long has been in place for over 2 years.
