Morning.
Quick question and hopefully a short answer.
Does it make sense to install door frames in dry rooms (so no bathroom, utility room, hallway, kitchen)?
I am currently installing my door frames in the bedroom and elsewhere and would otherwise place them directly on the laminate/parquet without leaving a gap for grouting.

Best regards

Enrico

Our door manufacturer pointed out within the scope of the warranty that this must be done on site after installation. So far, we have not done it. Theoretically, you could also pour something in there or use a mop ...

That also means that you grout all the baseboards?

That would be consistent. However, such a baseboard is quickly replaced and does not cost a fortune.

One does not allow materials to touch between floor and wall, because of acoustics, room echo, etc. (I don't know the physics exactly, but I find it understandable) keyword decoupling. Apart from that, parquet and laminate must also be wiped damp sometimes, so that the skirting board can swell from underneath.

We left a gap between the tile and the frame. You know, when you walk upright, it hardly shows; how the cat finds it, we don't care. Their Aisthesis is different anyway.
