There are basically two methods to deal with the existing skirting when we lay the floor.
Method 1: Remove skirtings and install the new/old skirting back after laying the floor.
Method 2: Leave skirtings in place and cover the expansion gap by nailing a bead of quad to the skirting.
Method 2 is the easier way. When using method 1, we have remove the skirtings first, which are usually fixed to the wall by nails or glue. Some minor damages may be caused to skirtings and wall. Some touch-up paints have to be done after installation.

AC Rating on Laminate Flooring
When we are dealing with cliets, we are often asked how durable is the laminate flooring. Here is a widely-accepted standard, AC rating to denote the durability level of laminate flooring. The rating of the floor boards are decided by considering the laminate’s resistance to brasion, impact, stains and cigarette burns. According to the product’s durability, the rating can leveled from AC1- AC5
AC1: House, One Person, Residential, Moderate traffic: Suitable for bedrooms or guest rooms;
AC2: Residential, General Traffic: Suitable for living rooms or dining rooms
AC3: Residential, Heavy Traffic: Suitable for all areas
AC3: Commercial, Moderate Traffic: Hotel rooms, small office
AC4: Commercial, General Traffic: Office, boutique, café
AC5: Commercial, Heavy Traffic: Public buildings, department stores
Usually our products are just AC3, because the course surface texture of AC4 and AC5 is too rough for bare feet, which will make users very uncomfortable.

Awards Night – Floor Covering Association of New South Wales
Due to the busy work, it has been two weeks I did not catch a time to post a new blog since the last one. I feel a little guilty and take this as my duty to post a blog at least once every other week. So I decide I must post one before I go to bed. It sounds like a school assignment.
Not much to say today. Just recalled I have attended an awards night for graduating apprentices on 22nd Jun 2011. I was invited by the Floor Covering Association of NSW as honoured guest at the presentation of awards for the 2010 year. Here are some photoes I’d like to share with you.
