Hi, Question regarding "good practice" with respect to woodwork, if I may?
I am looking to install a wood engineered floor ( 18 -> 20 mm thick )over the existing pine floorboards in my sons bedroom. Theres no skirting board or architrave on the walls, as the rooms been refurbed.
When I 've layed the floor, If I rest the skirting board on top of the new floor and fix to wall, then the new skirting board will be 18 -> 20 mm higher than the skirting board in the adjoining hallway ( the other side of the doorway ). This because the skirting board in the hallway sits on top of the existing pine floor boards there.
What to do? Trim 18- 20 mm off of the bedroom skirting or accept the 18 - 20 mm hieight difference between the bedroom. What the "Best Practice" here?
Any help greatly appreciated!
( maybe some psychiatric help for my woodwork related OCD wouldn't go amiss either!
)
