Beading Floor-skirting and Bath Trim Seal
2 Questions: 1) I am putting beading on a vinyl floor/skirting board boundary: is it recommended to stick both surfaces - floor and skirting - or, I have seen suggested, just do skirting to allow movement of floor. Multi-purpose glue or no-nails or such like please? 2) I am putting a Homelux 12mm White PVC Bath Trim (B&Q EAN: 5037129066186) on one edge of bath and tiling. One edge of trim has self adhesive on (remove a tape from sicky surface). I assume this goes on tiles: is it sensible to put silicon sealant between trim and bath. (It is too late to put a trim on before tiling) |

(It is too late to put a trim on before tiling) Sorry, but if I were going there, I wouldn't start from here - in both cases! (1) Beading looks 'orrible! If you cut the vinyl accurately to the skirting, you don't need to cover the joint - but you could use a thin bead of silicone if you like, to cover any slight imperfections. (2) If you fit the bath to the wall *before* tiling and then tile down to it leaving a gap of a few mm, you don't need bath trim - just a bead of silicone. If you've already tiled below bath level, you may still be able to cut away some of the tiles and fit the bath to the wall. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
