Hi all,
You know in magazine show rooms, art galleries, and generally many of the million-pounds urban apartments, the walls often don't have skirting boards. But how is this look achieved?
I do not understand how it works... how is the wooden/laminate floor supposed to be able to expand? Or does the plastic board actually sits on top of the floor?
Basically, is it like -
| Wall
|
|
|---------- Floor
Or this -
| Wall
|
|
----------- Floor
And also, wouldn't the bottom edge of the plaster walls be really fragile? I guess it would be damaged by vacuum cleaning easily?
And finally... what is the process? Lay plaster boards and skim as usual but all the way to the bottom, then use a plaster knife to trim the bottom so it looks tidy? Or something like that?
Oh and... what is the name of this "look"?
By the way, I am not going to be DIYing it. I just would like to know what is involved.
Many thanks!
