Hello everyone,

At the beginning of the year, we renovated an apartment and had solid wood planks installed by a professional craftsman company. The screed was completely skim-coated by the company before gluing to create a smooth substrate. Now we have finally gotten around to taking care of the baseboards and found that the floor has considerable unevenness in places, so that the baseboards cannot be attached flush and without tension to the floor using the clip system. Photos see here:





Are such deviations within the usual range, or is this a workmanship defect?

Wood expands and contracts, especially now that it is warm. I just looked at my baseboards. They are as white as yours. Completely normal, I also have dents. Eventually, you won’t notice them.

Well, you always see this deviation and it always looks shitty. No wood is worked like this either. The right side looks really straight too. If you level it, then please do it properly. You can only correct it to a limited extent by bending the baseboards. But you won't get more than a centimeter. Talk to the floor fitter. Pulling it out is no option. Is it just this one spot?

Thank you very much for the answers. So far, it is only the one spot that is so extreme. However, in several other places the expansion joint is too large, so the baseboard does not cover the gap and we had to resort to wood filler. I would not have thought that a professional floor layer would work so untidily...

How wide is your strip and did you write that in the order to the floor layer? Next time, use spray cork instead of wood filler. It remains permanently elastic.

Does the floor only slope down to the sides? It could also be that the screed is cupping.
