Skirting boards are used around the edges of a floor to hide any expansion gaps and make a floor look much more elegant and connected with the rest of the room.
Should beading match floor or skirting.
I actually put quickstep laminate down next when i took the skirting off for and the overall look was much better despite floor costing half as much.
Having previously had beading i would always fit under the skirting now it is a hassle and i nearly didn t bother but very pleased i did.
Installing a quad is a shorter process than removing and reinstalling the existing skirting board and is a slightly cheaper option.
Skirting and beading are both types of wooden floor edging.
The skirting board is probably easier.
This option is best for those who prefer a gradual match between their floor and skirting board.
If your room has neither you need to invest in skirting to install after your floor.
They are used to fill the gap between a newly installed floor and the walls of the room.
If you want to use white beading to match your white skirting boards you don t have to worry about the aforementioned tip.
You can stick the beading to either the skirting board or floor using grab adhesive.
It will normally cost you around 5 per meter including material and labour to install a quad.
It can be used as an alternative to beading although skirting comes in much more stylish options.
Then when your new floor has been successfully installed they attach the quad this covers the gap between the floor and the skirting board.
White beading is also much cheaper.
They can be found in a variety of species to match and complement your flooring choice.
