My laminate flooring is laid on top of 5mm golden underlay.
The laminate side edges close to walls flexes a lot because the 5 mm underlay is spongy when walking on it and the laminate side edges are not glued to the floor near the wall.
I thought one one way to eliminate the issue could be to install skirting boards on top of laminate, using screws, hoping that the skirting boards will push the laminate edge down and stop the laminate flexing which is annoying when walking near the wall.
My carpenter says it's not common practice to use skirting boards to push down the laminate and want to install the skirting boards using flooring sealant instead of screws.
No idea what to do to remove the dodgy flexing of laminate
Any advice?
