Flooring spacer Bessey AV2 — 4 pcs, 5 mm joint width, for laminate flooring

Bessey AV2 flooring spacers are a set of four adjustable spacers designed to create and maintain a consistent 5 mm expansion joint when installing laminate flooring. Compact and robust, each spacer features a red dial for fast, simple setup: insert the spacer between the first row of panels and the wall, turn the dial to set the required distance, and remove by rotating the dial to release pressure once installation is complete. The spacer’s wide contact and support surfaces minimise pressure points on both the wall and the flooring, reducing the risk of slipping or tilting compared with wedges or blocks. Built from glass fibre–reinforced polyamide, the tool combines light weight with impact and break resistance for long service life.

Advantages

The integrated dial allows precise, repeatable spacing without additional measuring tools, and an exact millimetre scale makes it easy to see and compensate for wall irregularities in the 5–20 mm range. Wide contact surfaces ensure stable positioning along the wall and on the floor panels, preventing tilting and slippage during installation. The material choice gives robustness close to that of larger tools while keeping the spacer compact and portable for both DIY and professional use.

Suitable for

• Installing laminate flooring where a consistent 5 mm expansion gap is required
• Home renovation and DIY flooring projects
• Professional flooring installations needing repeatable spacer placement
• Compensating for minor wall surface irregularities during panel laying

Key specifications

• Pack contents: 4 adjustable spacers
• Set expansion gap: 5 mm (nominal)
• Adjustable compensation range visible on millimetre scale: approximately 5–20 mm
• Material: glass fibre–reinforced polyamide (impact and break resistant)
• Compact footprint, similar to the size of a business card for easy handling and storage

How to use

Place a spacer between the first row of laminate panels and the wall, align so the wide contact surfaces rest evenly on both the wall and the floor panel. Rotate the red dial until the millimetre scale indicates the required distance (5 mm for the standard expansion gap), ensuring the spacer is seated without tilting. Continue installing panels along the wall using additional spacers as needed for consistent spacing. After the flooring is secured, rotate the dial to release pressure and remove each spacer.

Usage recommendations

Use the spacers at consistent intervals along the wall to maintain an even expansion gap; check the millimetre scale regularly to account for wall irregularities. Store the spacers away from prolonged UV exposure and extreme heat to preserve material properties.
