So i want to re paint skirts and put something else down.
Alternatives to laminate floor beading.
Carpet trims can be a great alternative to beading.
The metal finish against the wood finish of your laminate and skirting can look great.
Fill the space between the floor and the wall with a matching colour of sealant.
Has anyone got any alternatives they put down which look better.
If you have matched it to the floor rather than the skirting then that is where your problem lies.
Secondly depending on what type of beading you are using if using wooden beading that is going to be painted the same colour as your skirting you can make cuts along the back of the beading this will allow the beading to bend without twisting forward this can then be nailed and the nails sunk below level and filled as can the cuts you made earlier and sanded then painted.
A very unobtrusive finish like a picture frame covering the expansion gap.
Threshold trims floor edging threshold trims are perfect for larger rooms where you may find it necessary to leave an expansion gap or open plan properties where you wish to leave a divide in floor type.
You could be laying 100m2 zebrano but stick the beading on and it will look cheap.
I am choosing 50sqm of laminate or hard wood floor at the moment for the bottom floor of the house.
Below are several flooring trims options including wood floor beading alternatives and laminate flooring edging alternatives.
There are lots of nice ones and no problems with finding one i like but all the beading looks awful.
I ve seen some tape stuff anyone used it or any other alternative that i don t need to shape cut corners the irony doesn t escape me there.
A simple strip 6mm thick 25mm wide with a rounded edge on the front and tapered edge on the back that s pinned down on your wood floor to give you a very neat finish.
Today however this project doesn t have to be a budget buster.
Skirting off and on again can make a cheap laminate floor look expensive.
Hi we have just replaced our carpet floor tiles in the bathroom with the florentine blue tile loc wooden floor from b q yes it was a pain to fit but when it came to the beading obviously wooden beading doesn t bend round the toilet and sink so heres a great idea which someone else told us about.
Our answer is quite simple.
Solid oak flat beading.
I now have some very nice white moulded beading to cover the edge of my flooring and i think it gives the skirting a quite a nice finish.
Having had beading that matches the flooring in the past it does not look very good.
