Great video bud I own flooring stores one thing I would watch out for is when you put pressure on the skirting to push down before fastening I had a flooring complaint rejected from manufacturer last week, the independent inspector stated skirting was fitted too tight to the floor stopping any expansion to be fair I thought it was ridiculous as expansion wasn't the issue (poor quality locking system in my opinion) but keep an eye out if you have any issues if you generally use quickstep your on good footing anyways lol

Hi Eric🖐Appreciate your comment, especially as you are in the flooring game👍I probably fit upwards of 50 floors a year, all with Quickstep, and, as yet have only had to go back to one, (which ironically, I got one of my subbies to fit), because it had expanded slightly and popped up in a hallway due to being fitted to tight in certain places😬I suspect the hallway/entranceway was getting a bit more moisture from wet feet etc🤔 Thanks again for the great points in your comment and for watching🤩Cheers Del

That sort of flooring has got better over the years. From the original glue up. Then the spring clips. To the clip lock system. Have done miles of the stuff. But personally hate it. Wouldn't put it in my house. Always sounds hollow when you walk on it, like drummy tiles. Very thin veneer that if you scratch it can't be touched up. Damage a board. Pain to get out. It can look effective. And the colours have improved. But it doesn't like getting wet if you have a house water incident. Doesn't like being in full sun. Say big patio glass door. Horrible stuff to retro fit to a house with skirt already down. Then you get into the trim over expansion gap scenario. Looks good when you first lay it. But over the years I have seen some horror stories. Some fitter induced. Owner abuse. Or just product not fit for purpose. Repairs never easy. Still not in my house.

Wich kind of glue do you use for the frames? It is really fast.

Hi Max🖐It's a 2 part 'mitre bond' type adhesive. You put the glue on one surface, and then spray the activator on the other. Sets in less than 10 seconds😲It's just like superglue👊

Do you caulk the gap between the underside of the skirting and the floor?

Hi there🖐No, we don't seal/caulk the skirting to the floor as the floor needs to be able to move a little👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

Hi Andrew🖐Well spotted and it is different due to the floor being laid over underfloor heating. The stuff I used in this video is specifically for UFH made by Quickstep👍Cheers Del
