I am going to lay flooring in a house as follows:
- Tongue and groove hardwood
- planks 90x300mm
- Fixed with adhesive
- Planks parallel to walls, in brickwork layout
- Adjoining rooms separated by a hall
- The floor is to be continous across rooms
Is it better to start "in the middle" to ensure that the flooring does not end up out of parallel (outside what the skirting can cover) at the far walls in the adjoining rooms?, for instance starting at the doorway of one of the rooms. My fear is that, if I start at one far wall -in a room-, by the time I get to the hall and room across the hall, the flooring can be way out of parallel.
For the same reason, is it better to put the flooring perpendicular to the doors (especially if starting inside a room) as this will disguise the out of parallel a bit more?
Thanks
