Hi,
I have a kitchen which was striped back and replastered and then the units were fitted. There was a gap between the floorboards and the plastered walls. This gap is covered by the skirting board where there are not units. However, where there are units the gap is present. This is not a problem in the summer but as it gets to winter a breeze blows up from the vent block, straight up the gap and then into the room via the kick board at the bottom.
As I see it there are two options: seal the gap in the kick boards or seal the gap between the floor and the wall. Sealing the gap between the wall and the floor seems the best bet as doing a tidy job on the kick boards will be trickier.
Assuming that i want to seal the gap between the floor and the wall is expanding foam suitable or can anyone suggest and alternative?
