Dear Forum
We are going to have engineered wood floor installed underneath the existing skirting (skirting bottom to be cut to slot in the woodfloor), we are confused by the advice given by two woodfitters
1) one said, if we are going to have underlay (thickone) then there will be 3mm gap between the bottom of the skirting and the new woodfloor. However, if we don't want this gap then we need to have plywood + underlay. He will nail every 5 board and may apply ahesive between tongue and groove
2) another said all we need is the underlay and engineered woodfloor and he will glue them together. Would this give a rigid floor or not
3) What is the best glue for engineered woodfloor
4) what is the min gap and where they should be (between the wall and the edge of the woodfloor or between the bottom of the skirting and the woodfloor or both
Thanks again for your advice
