laminate flooring problems

have you ever heard about using a t-bar when installing laminate flooring. We just remodeled and had the floor professionally installed . Some spots seem to be rippling. The had an inspector come in and verified the installation is good,level,there is a 1/4 in gap around perimeter. its a top of the line Shaw flooring glueless w/pad They will not stand behind warranty because they say these t-bars must be installed at every doorway smaller than 6feet and this will take care of the problem whats your opinion

I don't buy it. To be sure, though, you need to check the written warrantee.

I did the top of the line Shaw laminate (glue together) a few years ago and did not use t-bar in the one doorway I used it in and I've not had any problems.

If you do find that the warrentee calls for it in the doorways, though, you may want to bring this up with the installer. I would expect an installer to follow the manufacturers recommendation - and especially install it in a manner that would not void the warrantee.

Look close at your warrantee to see what it actually says in writing.
