i have some flooring chipboard 22mm thick 2400x600 - which is fine - BUT where I intend to join with another piece along the edge - i may have a slight gap , not a problem really as it will be covered by base units and away from view
the chipboard is 2400 x 600 and the room is 2630 - so will have a small gap of 230 to fill - allowing a 10mm gap for expansion
i have cut off the join on the 600mm end and my plan was to fill that with a spare 2400x600 sheet - cut up - but long ways - so i will have a piece 2400x220 to run down the side of flooring and wall
now the edge is not going to be perfect - so i may have a small gap - which i could fill , as thats where the vinyl will be
the walls are being plaster board and skimmed so 9mm ish -
maybe something like this
thoughts welcome
EDIT
I have been using CT1 for years now - first started to use on cast iron gutters in 1997 - and used for lots of jobs over the years
THEN along came BT1 for bathrooms and used that and excellent as well
NOW searching for an answer here - i come across FC1 - form same people - Filler and chalk (upto 25mm gaps ) - seems this will be my answer
and now that its all availble from toolstation (where when they first stocked there was a local rep - instore as they put in display units - and how i found out about BT1

expensive - BUT i have always found CT1 does the job even in WET gutters
