Woodpecker Click Engineered Oak Wood Laid in Tamworth Produces Beautiful Results!
As a flooring fitter in Tamworth, All Floor One knows the best ways of installing new flooring to ensure a quality finish. A lot of it involves correctly preparing the room. For example, we recently fitted new flooring, but before we did, we removed the skirting boards.
Why is removing the skirting boards so important? Because engineered wood expands and contracts due to changes in temperature and humidity. As a result, an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural expansion and contraction is required. Refitting the skirting on top of the new flooring allows for the gap and covers it.
Similarly, engineered wood should be installed as a floating floor, which requires specific angles to lock the boards together. If the skirting is already in place, this can make it difficult to slide the boards underneath.
When fitting new flooring, you also can’t guarantee that your old flooring is the same thickness as the new, which could leave a gap that beading can’t hide. Removing the skirtings means that the flooring can be installed at its correct height, based on its thickness, and then the skirtings refitted. This approach provides the neatest, most professional finish. It creates a cleaner, tidier look, as any experienced flooring fitter in Tamworth will testify to.
These key reasons for removing and refitting skirting illustrate how important it is that the correct installation techniques are used when installing click engineered wood and the importance of using a professional flooring fitter in Tamworth who knows the correct processes to follow.
