Sometimes in the repair process there is no way to hide communications and in the process of laying the flooring there are all sorts of difficulties. For example, after laying the laminate, a gap is necessarily formed between the floor material and the pipe, and how to be in this case, how to mask everything and make it beautiful? Some recommend using a sealant, this of course closes the gap, but the appearance is far from the best.
Some craftsmen offer to accurately measure everything and create the perfect hole for the pipe and there will be no gap in the future. But this is also the wrong approach, there must be free space from 8 to 10 millimeters. Otherwise, in the future, the laminate may simply become deformed.
Today in the modern market there is a mass of decorative elements that greatly simplify life and workflow. For example, one of the good options that deserves consideration is a rosette - a decorative overlay for a pipe.
This element can be made both of wood and plastic, can be both wide and narrow, so in any case, this option is perfect for a particular room. Many manufacturers create rosettes with imitation of oak or other wood, and this material is great for laminate flooring and merges with it. Other owners can choose a decorative overlay not according to the color of the floor, but to the color of the plinth. The diameter of the rosette can vary from 19 to 32 millimeters, of course, you can find a larger size.
Most often, it is wooden products, which consist of two parts, that are of interest, a collapsible product is easily mounted. As for the plastic analogue, there are no problems either, there is a special slot through which the rosette can be put on the pipe. And for fixing it is not necessary to use glue, the element is tightly mounted on the pipe and that’s all. That is, it is extremely important not to make a mistake with the diameter.
If we talk about color rendition, then in order for everything to harmonize and combine, it is best to acquire decorative element with laminate or linoleum, if it acts as a floor coverings.
Of course, you can go the simple way and paint over or gloss over the gap, but then it is unlikely that it will look aesthetically pleasing. In any case, it is up to the owner of the premises to decide.
