While it isn’t required, it is highly recommended to use Edges for Laminate Flooring to protect against damage
Yes, it can be difficult to install Flooring Edges due to the precision required for measurements and cuts.
To seal the edges of Laminate Flooring to prevent moisture damage, use a high quality silicone.
Edges are an excellent tool for enhancing your Laminate Flooring. They are used to create a smooth, seamless transition between floor edges, doorways, and stairs. It helps to improve safety as well as creates a finished look and feel to the room.
One of the reasons a floor trim is a great tool to use is that it helps to create a smooth transition and finished look. No matter how nice your Laminate Flooring itself may look, choosing to leave out a floor trim can result in the room looking and feeling somewhat untidy and unfinished. Furthermore, they are available in a variety of colours and materials so they can blend in with most rooms
In addition to this, Edges are actually great at disguising imperfections in the subfloor. This is again very important in creating a more polished, natural appearance.
Finally, Edges can actually be a great aid for your safety. If different rooms have different sizes or thicknesses in their flooring, then this can increase the likelihood of tripping if there is no “safetynet” between them. This is where the edges play a massive part in acting as a safety precaution reducing the risk of tripping.
