How do i keep my flooring level flush inside to out?
Comments (6)Dear Ocean and Lynn, I'm happy to help property owners if I think I can give a helpful, concise answer or point them in the right direction. Although this is a valid design dilemma, it is one of several types of question that I should think many professionals on Houzz will avoid. This is a technical query which requires detailed knowledge of specific products and circumstances, in which giving inadequately informed advice could be problematic. These are usually best addressed to manufacturers of specific products or an architect / designer / installer who is engaged to deal with the project....See MoreDilemma Help: What Is The Best Wood Flooring For Kitchens?
Comments (2)Hi Ocean Home Designs, There are many pro's and cons when installing a floor prior or after the kitchen. An advantage with fitting prior would be it makes life easier to fit a kitchen on top off, as the levels would be a lot easier to work from. Another benefit would be, the flooring will be easier/quicker to install with no kitchen obstructions to go around. On the other hand, some would rather not waste material by going under the units as the floor would just be covered over and never seen again, hence making a saving in material & fitting costs....See Moreopen plan flooring

We wanted a warm but neutral floor and this one looks both warm and cool sometimes. Originally I wanted a rich warm floor to balance out the grey but the orange tones clashed with the units and made them look too blue/retro so we decided to go with this one instead....See MoreWood floor gap at skirting HELP!
Comments (19)Re infills - I meant if they remove the skirting and you had some spare flooring, you can put small pieces in to cover the larger gaps. However they would have to be glued in place as they might not stay put being so thin. Also need to leave the expansion gap still so it might not be worth it. I think get some ideas on weighing up the cost of buying thin profile beading to match the floor to put around all the skirt or, look to replace the skirting with a thicker one. Beading looks fine and no one will know that you didn't just put the floor down after the skirting was already there. At least it will be uniform. Beading isn't cheap though so get a price for both...See Morenixxi72
