Hi all,
Going to be fitting a floating wooden floor in my hallway next week and want some advice about the best way to cut the flooring to fit around the staircase post.
My hallway is a square of about 2 metres with with the staircase coming down i have basiccally an L shape hallway to floor.
diagram time
[code:1]---DOOR -----------------
I I
I I
I I
I I
I O----------I
I I----------I
I I----------I ------ stairs
I I----------I
---DOOR -----------------[/code:1]
Now i have removed my skirting and undercut the doorframes so that the wood will fit under neatly leaving a gap for expansion but my problem is the bottom banister of the stairs, shown by the "O" in my rather basic diagram
I cant undercut into this (can I???), and becase of its shape (hexigon) i dont think i could cut the floor to fit around it without it looking like ass and leaving a visualy unapealing gap. So how should i go about this?
I can upload a pic of the area concerned if my description of my dilema was not very helpfull.
Thanks for your time
