The gaps appear between laminate flooring and skirting?
August 17, 2010 – 12:20 amI had laminate flooring installed in my house in August. Now it is December. And the gaps appear between laminate flooring and skirting. What is the problem? How to deal with the problem?
There are two possible reasons for the gap. There should have been a gap which width is about 8mm between laminate flooring and wall during the installation. If the width of the gap is too big, the gaps between laminate and skirting when laminate “floats” after the installation. Also the gaps may appear when it becomes cold as laminate contract in cold winter. You can get thicker skirting to cover the gap. If it is not workable, you have to dismantle the laminate flooring and have it installed with the right width of the gap.
