Hi folks

I am fitting some Karndean to a cloakroom. I have successfully fitted Karndean to a completely square room before, but this room has some diagonal edges, pipes, and is not completely square.

To fit the planks that align to the edges I know I need to use a scribe, but googling around a bit it's not clear what type of scribe is most suitable, and I can't find any instructions/videos on how to line everything up so the scribe line ends up in the right place for a neat finish.

My questions are:

  • What kind of scribe do I need? Bar, recess or combination?
  • How do set the scribe so the line is in exactly the right place? (i.e. how do you prevent cutting too much or too little off the plank)?
  • Why are they called unders & overs? (Seriously, try googling for this, nothing comes up!)
Picture of the room attached.

Cheers, Ben
