How to choose the right Skirting for your project:
Choosing the right floating floor trim option for your new floating floor is important to per cent issues like buckling and bulging. It's essential to make an informed decision whether you choose
bamboo,
laminate or
engineered flooring. This guide covers the two primary options available: reinstalling skirting boards or installing quads.
Option 1: Reinstalling Skirting Baseboards
Removing Existing Skirting Trim:
While many flooring installation companies don't typically offer this option due to the extra labour involved, it can be a viable choice. If you decide to reinstall skirting boars, a professional flooring installation team should carefully remove the existing skirting boards and store them securely.
Reinstalling the Baseboards:
1.
Prepare the subfloor for the new floor
2. Ensure sufficient space for the reinstallation of skirting boards over the new floor.
3. Reinstall stored skirting boards carefully for a seamless and tidy floor.
4. The reinstalled skirting board perfectly complements the edge of the new floor
This option is ideal for those seeking an impeccably finished floor and optimized floor space utilization.
Cost: ON average, expect to pay around $12 per meter for the removal and reinstallation of existing skirting boards. Quads, also known as Scotia moulding, Quad moulding, or Quad trim, are narrow strips of wood that match the colour of the new floor installed. Installing quads is a popular choice for floating floor installations.
Option 2: Installing Quads
What are Quads/Scotia?
Quads, also known as Scotia moulding, quad moulding, quad beading, or quad trim, are narrow strips of wood that match the colour of the new floor installed. Installing quads is a popular choice for floating installations.
Installing Quad Moulding:
During the installation of your new floor,
1. The professional installation team leaves space between the floor and the existing skirting board
2. The quad is attached after floor installation, covering the gap between the floor and the skirting board.
This option offers a quicker process compared to removing and reinstalling skirting boards, and it is slightly more cost-effective. It is best suited for those who prefer a gradual transition between their floor and skirting board.
Cost: On average, budget around $5 per meter (including material and labour) for quad installation.
