    Hi all,

    Have Amtico floor down and about to replace the skirting so that it sits on top of the LVT. Question is shoudl the skirting sit on top of the LVT or is it best to leave to a tiny (0.5mm?) gap? Thanks all.

    If the lvt is a stick down then it’s not required mate

    Unless they're mdf skirtings you'll find they shrink a bit anyway
