Hello fellas, first time posting but I've already learned loads off this forum, cheers!
I've just bought a flat and want to lay laminate in the living room and hall.
My problem is that everyone seems to advise laying the laminate in the direction of light entering the room. This is fine for the living room, but would mean that if I wanted to lay it in the same direction in the hall, the planks would be really short and would looks strange.
The alternative is to lay the laminate lengthways in the hall but would mean that it was in a contrasting direction to the living room.
Any advice on what I should do?
Also, I'll be laying this on floorboards and there's conflicting advice on whether to use fibreboards or timbermate as the underlay, which is best?
