Sealing Edge of LVT Floor

Featured Replies

Suddenly thought I ought to try and put some sealent down where my LVT meets the wall in the laundry appliance bays. In case of leaks. (see pic)

What would people suggest that is readily available off the shelf ? Bathroom sealant ? Frame Sealant ?

 

(Just to stop water running down at the edge, without being stuck so hard it would play havoc if you did have to lift some floor in the future.)

I'd use some uPVC D section, say 50mm wide (tall) as a maintenance-free skirting board, to regularise these offending areas, and bond them on with CT1, plus then seal the LVT to the uPVC with the same. That'll be A1 squire ;) :)

Thanks gents.

I will fix some profile after the fitters have finished. For starters I have put a bead of Mapei Mapesil in at the junction.
