the spacers keep the product in line with walls and provides backing support for install. Install block is a must use item, makes locking in laminate easy and prevents damage.

Comments about Dream Home Laminate Installation Kit:
The kit helps a first time installer, but it can be eliminated by using a small piece of the floor turned up on its end to space the flooring from the wall and another small piece of the flooring to use as a hammering block. It made the installation easier but it can be installed without this if you really need to save money.

Comments about Dream Home Laminate Installation Kit:
This kit was very useful in the installation of our laminate floor. The block is the best and most useful piece in the kit. It has a groove that fit perfectly on our boards so as to not damage the tongue and groove of the board. The bar needs to be used very carefully so not to damage the edge of the laminate, this may not be an issue with solid wood floor boards. The spacers were a little tricky to do what we wanted them to do since you need to use at least two together to get the gap you really need. we were tempted to glue them together.
One bad side about this product: the pieces can not be bought separately. about 1/2 way through 1 of the 2 rooms our block cracked and caused some damage to our boards. We were then at a standstill till the next day till we could get another one. We did look at our local bigbox store but it did not have the groove that this one has to steady it on the board.

The plastic tapper tool is good for small jobs, however halfway through our project and it does not work as well. We will have to purchase another one to finish the job.
