When laying laminate flooring on the ground, it is usually necessary to reserve 8~10mm expansion joints near the wall to prevent the floor from expanding and deforming due to thermal expansion and contraction.
At this time, you may ignore these tiny gaps to speed up the progress of the project, thinking that it is just a small matter and does not need further treatment. I am sorry to tell you that this idea is wrong. Therefore, even such a small gap will cause great trouble to your future life. If these tiny gaps are ignored, they will accumulate dust or debris over time, leaving an unsightly surface at the bottom edge of the wall.
Therefore, you must pay attention to them. This article provides three effective treatment methods to help you solve the edge sealing problem of laminate flooring.
To hide the edges of laminate flooring, we offer three effective treatment methods, including:
The skirting board is one of the most common floor decoration profiles. It is usually used at the junction of the wall and the floor to cover the gap, protect the wall, store wires and cables, and provide auxiliary lighting.
Laminate flooring is usually decorated with PVC skirting boards. Using PVC flooring with a wood grain surface can well cover these gaps and create a smooth transition effect between the floor and the wall.
Beading is a floor edge trim that can be used with skirting or on its own with laminate or hardwood floors.
Beading is usually made of PVC, which is lightweight, easy to cut and install, and can be covered with different wood grain finishes to match the laminate flooring.
L-shaped floor edge strips are commonly used to close the edges of floors. They are usually installed by gluing, and the surfaces on both sides of the profile can well cover the front and sides of the floor, thus forming a strict protection.
Common edge trimming materials include skirting boards, edge trimming strips, etc.
Skirting boards can not only cover gaps, but also protect wall panels, store wires, or provide auxiliary lighting for the floor environment. It is a multifunctional floor profile.
Although the edge trimming strip has a relatively single function, it can also solve the floor edge trimming problem you encounter.
The trim profile should be coordinated with the floor color to achieve a good decorative effect.
When trimming the laminate floor, pay attention to the cleanliness and flatness of the floor to ensure there is no debris or impurities.
Although the edge trim of laminate flooring may seem unimportant, it is not. Whether you choose skirting, beading, or other types of edge trim, I believe they can perfectly solve your floor edge trim problem.
Choose high-quality materials and install them correctly, and you can make your floor look brand new.
