That way we can pull the skirting off lay the floor then put the skirting in place and fix it there. Absolutely hate quad Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 7Apr 17, 2015 11:44 am After looking at ALL the different Timber, Timber Look and composite flooring around.. we realised that most are just a bloody pain in the butt to work with, maintain and generally live with. Some scratch real easy, others you dont want to get too wet or your in trouble and others just make noise when walking over them. The BEST (IMHPO) was the Vinyl Timber Look strips. You can get the builder to install and complete the skirting then the vinyl can be laid straight down. NO glue, NO Quad, NO nothing.. simple, looks as good as any of the other options AND its so so so simple to lift a strip (same size as a timber board) out and replace it if needed. You can lay it yourself its that easy and save lots of $$$ Cheers, Paul (& Lisa) Parkhill 36 by ClarendonHomes in Coomera Retreat H1 Build Thread And Blog Building Blogs List - Go Ahead And Add Yours!! Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 8Apr 17, 2015 1:15 pm The vinyl needs to be laid on a level floor. Most slabs have surface issues and need preparation works. Vinly planks also need expansion gaps on ends as well of about 10mm so it is best to have it laid and then install skirts over the top of the ends to conceal the gaps. Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 9Apr 17, 2015 1:18 pm Might be talking about different products. Vinyl doesn't need expansion.. it doesn't expand and its also very accommodating to the floor. only real requirement is that its clean lol Cheers, Paul (& Lisa) Parkhill 36 by ClarendonHomes in Coomera Retreat H1 Build Thread And Blog Building Blogs List - Go Ahead And Add Yours!!

Vinyl doesn't need expansion.. it doesn't expand and its also very accommodating to the floor. only real requirement is that its clean lol My product is Gerflor Creation Clic vinyl floor planks. http://www.gerflor.com.au/products/prof ... -clic.html. Believe me, this product can expand and needs to be gapped at ends and between walls along the length of the plank to prevent lifting if the floor area expands with heat. It is a loose lay commercial product. So I guess it depends on what vinyl product you use. There are lots out there I know. Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 11Apr 17, 2015 4:29 pm Yup different product Yours has a clip lock system.

Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 13Apr 19, 2015 10:04 am I have just installed 96m2 of serfloor loose lay vinyl planks. They insist there product does not need any expansion gaps, it is 5mm thick with a .7mm wear layer and can be purchased direct from them for $45m2. 30 year residential warranty and a 15 year commercial warranty. I am totally thrilled with the end result and so glad I used these instead of floating floors or carpets. Serfloor tell me there is a guy in Adelaide who supplies and installs their floors for $55m2 which is probably a lot easier than breaking your back doing it yourself. In hindsight i probably wouldn't go to the effort of fitting them myself again for the sake of $10m2.

Re: Flooring without quading around skirting boards 16Feb 13, 2016 8:14 am That border looks great...

I would be engaging with an independent inspector to have a look at this. As for the unscheduled site visits, most builders are quite… 1 28290 Elvis has left the building...
