Draught Proofing Laminate Floor

[veedee]

Just laid some laminate flooring, however there are significant gaps between the flooring and the skirting board.

I suffer from a lot of draught and was just looking for advice on the best way to draught proof the place before the scotia lamanate beading is placed down

please see pics for examples of gaps

It's usual to have cork strip around the edge to absorb any movement and it would also plug the gap against draughts.

Some of your gaps look a little on the large side to be covered by any moulding.

Bit late now but I would have replaced that poor looking skirting which would also help with the draught problem.
