- For door thresholds, access hatches, or areas without a teegee joint, Hush-Grommet Fixing Isolators can be used sparingly to prevent "lipping." Avoid using any other fixings that may restrict the floating floor and affect its performance. Skirting should be installed with a minimum clearance of two or three millimeters from the floor surface (PCT only).
