Another update from the flooring department. We started and finished the Storage Room. Now, on the ground floor only the Utility Room and the Hallway are to be done. Getting closer. Meanwhile the future bath room serves as the current storage room.

Current state of our Laminate Flooring
Here is a quick overview of the current state of our laminate flooring: By now, we completed the kitchen, the bathroom, the bed room and the study.
Still to do: utility room, storage room, living room and two hallways. So, not quite there yet.
Our initial silicone tests showed we would use way too much silicone (around 6* 310ml per small room) to fill the required 12mm gap between the laminate and the wall. So, we went for a 10mm foam backing rod and put the silicone on top – with the help of a Hilti Dispenser and Fugenfux. We got the silicone from Screwfix: Sanitary Silicone White 310ml 12 Pack. And the result looks like this:
For the skirtings we will use 19mm x 19mm x 1.6mm 90° Aluminium angles from Metals4U that will cover the silicone and any imperfections. But – thanks to DX (a courier company with an impressive TrustPilot score of 1.4, 1.2 or 1.7) – who lost the package in transit already twice – we are still waiting for the actual delivery …
Again, we are not there quite yet. But making progress. So, hopefully in a couple of weeks we are done.
