Expansion room?

[dkpbxman]

I'm putting down ceramic tile in my entry-way. It's only about a 3' x 8' area with the rest of the floor, in that room, a floating laminate wood.

How much room for expansion does each type of flooring need?

Thanks,

For ceramic tile,the gap between wall and tile should be around 4mm. Laminate flooring is of a floating type. For laminate flooring, the gap shoul be between 8mm and 10mm accordingly.
