Hi all. I'm new in town.
I'm about to start laying QuickStep 950 flooring (the stuff with the v grooves down the side but not the ends) in the hall. The hall has 3 arms forming a T-shape.
I'd like to keep the direction of the boards along each part of the hall, but this means that I've got to have a change of direction for one of the arms (with me so far?).
I was considering a couple of options. The first is to use a profile to cover the join. Simple & effective, but not so good to look at.
The second idea I had was to join the boards together in a staggered point. I reckon with a bit of jiggery pokery with router I can get the various joints to lock together, assisted with some glue.
The question is would this work? Or would differential expansion along the width and length of the boards pull it all to bits or leave me with an uneven floor?
Any comments gratefully received.
