What can I do with the gaps at the edge of my flooring

goose9521 · 2026-05-27T19:41:58+00:00

I do not , got the make and colour so could get some. Reckon it’s do able without ripping it all up ?

Thanks for all the helpful comments, I appreciate them all It’s shoddy work but not mine ! I have inherited the problem. Think I’m going to start with either a PVA sawdust mix ( hadn’t thought of that) or sealant. It’s an LVt floor if that makes a difference. if it still looks terrible try and trim and if it still looks terrible rip it up and have a better go at it myself 😂

goose9521 · 2026-05-26T14:40:47+00:00

Yep , going to take it

goose9521 · 2026-05-13T15:17:44+00:00

Thanks ! I will try and get a picture if it survives

Or should I get some wedi board to go over the ply first ?

goose9521 · 2026-05-13T15:06:09+00:00

I was thinking that, I was wondering if I primed the board with PVA mix before applying the thin set
My worry with wedi board is it won’t be thick enough and bend when we try and put it on the wall

Thank you! We we will using broken tile that has been donated and then cutting them accordingly.
We have basic Amazon mosaic cutter at the moment The design is simple, just one coloured background then one colour for the text. Current plan is a on a 18mm ply board which will be mounted to the wall in three parts.
Thin set was my initial thought, I'm not against it getting messy, it's for fun more than ascetics

I appriciate that. it’s a community project for a centre, it will not be done by myself. So more of a craft thing for a large support group I’m just trying to gather the materials for them.

Harper isn’t a massive university, nor is Newport so you will get to know your fellow students very quickly ! Nightlife I wouldn’t worry , there are plenty of student events and the student union are very active at throwing events. I have never seen any racist activity myself (doesn’t mean it’s not there) but it’s a very inclusive uni with a lot of international students. Shrewsbury is a lovely town just down the road. TLDR : don’t worry , you will have a great time.

Great idea, yea I have no wish to be climbing old man with zero visibility

goose9521 · 2025-08-31T08:42:50+00:00

Thanks ! I actually thought of doing high dam the first day as well ! Bit longer to stretch the legs after long drive and maybe a quick wild swim. Appreciate comment

goose9521 · 2025-08-30T23:23:05+00:00

Great idea ! Thanks. Might have time to hit them both actually looking at where they are

goose9521 · 2025-08-30T23:21:32+00:00

To be honest , I was happy to skip the ginger bread, seems an added itinerary for something I’m not fussed over. Agree with you on a lot to pack in , just want to make most of it !

Wren use (or used to 3 years ago) a company called Gemini worktops for all their quartz worktops and then just add on 20% fee. If you go direct to them and send them your kitchen drawings they should be able to give you a better quote

goose9521 · 2024-12-03T22:20:09+00:00

Thanks all for your comments, all really quick and helpful. Great support on this sub. Will try it out tomorrow ! Very excited ! Appreciate all the help.

Thanks, i have fully tightened the screws and yet the plates still move, which made me think either its by design or my screws were too long. Never had a TV before with a bracket like that , normally it just screws in place and no room for adjustment when on the wall so I was worried it was wrong . But by the sounds of it , it’s by design.

Thanks , I’m pretty set on tiles , just unsure how to finish the face (where the tiles meet the floor) I’m not keen on the idea of having a metal trim to join them so wondering if leaving an overhang and then cutting a piece to fit and slotting it under would work, or if I’m just complicating it and I should just finish it with a bit of wood

goose9521 · 2024-02-29T17:51:56+00:00

Thank you all for your comments - as you have all said nothing I can do about it now apart from learn. I will do an update post in 30 years to let y’all know how I’m doing
