How do I deal with uneven floors when installing skirting?Updated 3 months ago

When encountering uneven floors during skirting installation, there are a couple of effective solutions:

Shims or Packers: Place shims or packers behind the skirting board to fill any gaps and ensure a snug fit against the wall. This method helps to accommodate variations in floor level, providing a smooth and uniform appearance along the skirting line.

Scribing: If the unevenness is significant, scribe the bottom of the skirting to match the contour of the floor. This involves tracing the irregularities of the floor onto the skirting board and carefully cutting along the marked line to create a custom fit. Scribing allows the skirting to follow the contours of the floor closely, resulting in a seamless and professional-looking installation.

By utilising these techniques, you can effectively address uneven floors during skirting installation, ensuring a polished and visually appealing finish in your space.
