Is this sensible as opposed to cutting away the frame and architrave to slip the flooring under. I use templates to achieve a near perfect match and fill with wood colour acrylic filler. Which option is preferable and why?
MANDATE said:I thought the idea was to have a 10mm expansion gap, so filling it would defeat the object wouldn't it?
the 10mm is in my opinion manufacturers overkill you only need about 1mm a foot if properly acclimatized[minimum 6]
MANDATE said:This is all good information but isn't it based on the assumption that the laminate is at its smallest dimension when laid and will expand. But what if the laminate is at its largest size when laid and can only contract. The so called expansion gap will become larger and may show. The problem is that it is not known if the laminate is in a contracted or expanded state or something inbetween when being laid.
