Elsbeth Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I finished the slate floor in the kitchen (photos forthcoming). But here is my question - would you put in floor skirting/trim? Or, since it's a kitchen, would you leave the walls without trim? I'm not sure what the rules are about a stone floor and skirting. Help! PS: I adore the coziness of the glencroft!

Shakyshaky Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You are talking about baseboards right? If it supposed to be new construction they would go on top of the flooring. If the house was redone at some point you could have it but up to the baseboard. It could go either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You could also use a portion of a tile to use as the trim as well if it has an even edge. It's quite common with stone floors. If cabinets are added then just butt up to the side of the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I also like the idea of tile used as trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 My Glencroft interior walls are "stucco" so I don't have baseboards in the kitchen or bath (with stone floors and I have wainscots on the walls in the other rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi, If you've got a slate floor, then some slate and tile trim in place of a baseboard could look very nice. there is slate countertop in my kitchen, surrounding a flat-top stove. the trim there is parallel to the floor, except for a small area around a support beam. we used some tiny medium-sea-green tiles imbedded in the counter along with the slate. the slate is a coolish color and the tile is a little warmer in hue. a bathroom counter is similar, done with traditional ceramic tile and the little green tiles. it took forever to choose colors and install the trim, but i think both areas look great.
