Who knows what he’s referring to on any subject on any day of the week!

@Dollar is just misunderstood. I agree with him on this though

Dog s**t
Laminate with beading

Your welcome

I don't even know what you mean tbh.
To call that dog s**t is madness though

 

[Monkeynuts39]

Very nice

What's a shadow gap bead? Can you not achieve the same thing with an edge bead and leaving a gap?

Like a stop bead but with a uniform channel. 10-15mm I think. In my opinion it looks smart. I've done whole houses with them around windows, doors etc. No arcitraves or skirt whatsoever

View attachment 55007 Also available in plastic now, mainly for drylining. Means you can put it against say door frame and get a fixed constant width without messing about with a spacer etc. with a stop bead. Also it hide a crappy background/mastic/holes etc. & allows you to wipe it out clean without ruining the wet edge.
This one in the pic looks a bit wide for me, prefer narrow so it creates a shadow (Duh). Sometimes paint the channel black to create a false shadow. On your's it'd get painted white, but I like and prefer your angled edge, v. nice.

This type of shadow gap bead would be better IMO.

That was a house with shadow gaps around every door and bottoms of the walls.

You couldn’t get a red neck at a bonfire.

I was asked to quote a full townhouse that had those shadow gaps.

Not really the bonfire type.

Nope.

It's very, very time consuming fitting them correctly.

 

[Casper]

These were already fitted when I did the quote. I just walked away

Why's that? They're not too bad to work to. Getting the fitting right is the faff.

Whats the problem with the fitting then?

 

[Vincey]

Think the op looks great

















but I do need to go opticians but can’t get in due to cov so best I don’t comment really

Fitting them around door frames isn't so bad as you're just butting them to the frame. Obviously the mitres need to look neat and tidy. Around the bottoms of the walls takes time to make sure that they're dead straight, level and the correct height, allowing for the different floor coverings going in different rooms.
Getting the internal and external mitres to look neat is quite a precision job for a rough old spread.

Says someone who has clearly never fitted them.

Thanks, I can see that being a challenge especially on an older buildings.
