Did you take into account the expansion gap before you calculated the width of the room? 20mm is perfect for the gap. Divided by 2 for both sides you get 10 mills on both sides. Maybe you didn't need to cut the very first board?
@calebsagaitu583511 ай бұрын
I know this was posted a while ago. But if youre still interested. He disregarded the expansion gap in his calculation because he had cut the bottom of the gib board which gives the 10mm expansion gap. Therefore the floor will expand under the wall and he can use a 10mm skirting board. If u dont cut the bottom of the gib board then you should include the gap in ur calculation and consider using a thicker skirting board.

I'm just wondering, instead of cutting off the bottom of the plasterboard/wallboard, if you're going to put skirting on top of the flooring anyway, why not just have the flooring start from 10mm away from the wall (as the skirting will hide the end of the board anyway) ?
@DG-im9wg4 жыл бұрын
If the flooring is in high sunlight during summer months, it could shrink slightly(as it looses moisture content). Then the edge of the flooring will ' crawl 'out from under the skirting and you will see a gap. The flooring has to thus be a few millimeters under the skirting when it is installed. Hope that helps mate.

I think you showed the underlay being put laid upside down - the membrane side should be underneath as it prevents the moisture getting to the foam rubber (which would deteriorate if wet/damp).
@mitre10nz Жыл бұрын
Hey Roger, we have double checked this with the supplier and they've let us know that their underlay is specifically designed to be laid plastic side facing up. While it would seem logical that the 2mm foam might absorb moisture this is simply not the case. The smooth top allows the floor to expand. The plastic side has much lower friction than the foam and this is very important in order to reduce stresses or tension within the floating floor system. ^Matt

3mm over 1m. over 3m that 9mm that will get you into trouble in time. I work too 3mm +- over 3m. your underlay is upside down.the moisture membrane should face down to the concrete not the foam. Over time in damp areas it will eat the foam away. Also should use water proof cloth tap on the joins.
