Hi all

Downstairs WC finally complete with lino laid yesterday.
To avoid "spills" going between edge of lino and skirting, do members of the
group usually seal around the floor edge?
If so what is best in this application, bathroom sealer?

TIA

Phil

IME white silicone is the only thing that doesn't discolour.

What do you mean by "lino"? Vinyl sheet?

If so, then silicone (not acrylic) sealer is a good choice.

If (and only if) the skirting is painted brilliant white, use a white
sealer. Otherwise, the clear one is generally much less obtrusive.
Choose a good quality one such as Dow Corning.

The usual cushion floor type covering that is available these days.
