gap under skirting ?
what size gap should I leave between the skirting and floor in a
bathroom, or any other room for that matter ? I was thinking ~3mm to allow for carpet/vinyl to be tucked under ? thanks |

Should definitely not be tucked under at all; basically the skirting sits on the floorboards. Although, may be a good idea to set it just a gnat's off the floor, so that floorboards can be lifted later if need be, and they aren't jammed in place at the ends. David |

I put my skirts down after the vinyl, laid flat on top of it. Can't get a better edge than that! Removed problem ;) a |

The message
from "In2Minds" contains these words: I was thinking ~3mm to allow for carpet/vinyl to be tucked under ? Carpet doesn't go under skirting - it goes tight up to it and the pile is pushed down with a thing like a brickie's bolster. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. |
