Undercutting Fireplace Hearths for Flooring
When finishing to fire-place hearths, stone walls and other irregular shaped obstacles with a hard surface floor, the best way to achieve a clean good-looking finish is to under-cut or remove a shallow, narrow section of material from the bottom.

This fireplace hearth is curved on both sides and basically straight every where else. This was an uncomplicated undercut task due to the hearth's consistency in shape and material. Two cuts were required, one at the top height of the laminate floor (which I believe was the Columbia glueless-clic brand), and one cut flush with the concrete subfloor. The cut material is then chipped out to a depth of about one-half inch.
