My construction company has probably done 300 or more jobs using vinyl and not once have we been called back because of expansion. I have seen cheaper products with gaps in saying that though. I believe it comes down to the quality of the product. I had the Karndean in my house and couldn’t have been happier. We laid it under the skirting boards and gave it a couple of mm to the gyprock so if it did expand it had somewhere to move. Others do it hard up against the skirt. I prefer under with a nice bead of silicon as I think it really finishes it off. I’ll see if I can find a picture of the vinyl in my last place. Hope this helps! Thanks, it was a slight gap on ends between planks but yes he was dead against them.
