Hi,
I am planning to lay a new laminate floor in my living room
shortly. I have just been told by SWMBO said she does not want to
have any "edge beading" which is used to hide the expansion gaps.

What are my options in laying the floor (with skirting boards
already in place) which leave sufficient expansion gaps and also hide
the edges of the floor. I presume that I would need to cut a rebate
into the fitted skirting board... ?? If so what power tool would I
need to hire ??

Thanks in advance

Steve




It would be quicker and cheaper to replace the skirting. :-)
