Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering Re: Floor Question 53Dec 11, 2008 9:57 am eho This is a very informative thread. I wish I had discovered this thread (and this forum) sooner! This is what I have done. Because my builder would not allow installing skirting (not even just tack them on), I deleted the skirting completely. After handover, the timber floor will be installed. The few timber flooring companies I have spoken to, they will install skirting for you if you supply them. I can easily get the skirting from bunning, probably cheaper shopping around. The timber floor company will trim the doors if needed. I have raised my kitchen 34mm (19mm board + 15mm ply). Because the kitchen will go in first, I will just have to settle with quad (some calls beating) around kickboards. The timber floor will go under the fridge space, dishwasher space and oven space. Oven is not an issue for me because I got an oven tower. That means, I will have quading around these area. Also, the very first step of my staircase should also need to raise 34mm. Now, I will just need to learn how to paint the skirtings. I have never done any paint job before in my life! I really wish I didn't need to do those skirting work myself. But since my builder is so inflexible and I really like to have solid timber floor, I guess I can settle with these extra work. I don't know if my approach is wise or not. But from reading this thread, it seems I am not too far off. Oh, one more thing I want to mention. I upgraded archatraves to 18mm. The edge needs at least 10mm gap. Some advised 12mm or more. So, using 18mm skirting will need 18mm archatraves to match up. Then, if petal's timber company got a better solution, you will not need to worry about this at all!
