More laminate floor questions!
Jun 24^th, 2004, 11:34pm

I know this is an often discussed subject but does anyone know of a laminate flooring that comes in random board lengths the same as solid wood flooring as i need the hard scratch resistant surface but the overall look of real wood. The laminate i have seen has the pattern of random lengths but as the boards are all the same size the joins are obvious.
Any Ideas?

Reply #1 - Jun 25^th, 2004, 1:10am Chop a bit off the starting board in each row so that the joins are where you want them. You'll waste a little though, but that is the price of your desired effect. Remember that after adding furniture, rugs & the like, these joins (& board lengths) will be less noticeable.
