Finishing a wooden floor

user060916 · 2023-11-26 21:49:05

I got a wooden floor put down "between" the existing skirting boards instead of being installed and then the skirting boards fitted on top of it. As a result there are gaps between the wooden floor and the skirting. Is scotia what I'm looking for to finish it? Also, what am I looking for to finish off the flooring / carpet…

Also, what am I looking for to finish off the flooring / carpet transition?

Are they both DIYable?

Scotia, yes, if that's that finish that you want. It does hide the transition but at the loss of a couple of additional cm's to the wall (for any furniture which sits tight to the wall).
For the carpet to wood you need a z-trim, see page 58:

Woodies should have these but if not then try a local builder's merchant.
