floating floor basement

[Mattias_Jo1]

The carpet is not dense but since I have Platon mat and ventilated skirting boards, the moisture is primarily vented out via the upturn and the skirting boards. With the Platon solution, neither the carpet nor the chipboard come into direct contact with potentially damp concrete.

Hey,

Did you take any pictures when you did this? How do you attach the skirting boards when there is an upturn behind, regardless of Isola or according to the thread starter? I'll be starting this myself in a few weeks.

Hi. Yes, I took a few pictures. I can try to look for them later when I'm home at the computer. I cut the upstand a few millimeters above floor level when the flooring was completed. The skirtings were then glued in place. The ventilated skirtings are designed in such a way that they are routed on the backside and at the bottom, they extend a little onto the floor and "lean" against the wall. So there is a little space behind them that allows the upstand to protrude slightly above the floor level.

Ok, that's good. Where did you purchase the socklar?

Have seen ventilated skirting boards at Bauhaus. If they were adapted for uppvik I don't know.

Was it a problem to cut the cove at the right height without making marks on the wall??

I'm not far from doing the same thing. I've reached the wall sanding now.

Was it difficult to cut the skirting at the right height without making grooves in the wall??

I'm not far from doing the same thing. I've reached the wall sanding stage now.

I cut it so there were grooves in the walls, but these were later hidden by the baseboards.

Ok, it's important to have a sharp utility knife.

Ok, gäller att ha en vass mattkniv.

Exactly.
If you take it easy and hold the edge a bit away from the wall, you don't need to wear out the knife blade every other meter. The edges are quite soft to cut through.
