Hello
I'm currently installing a solid oak floor in my living and dining room.
It's the solid oak stuff from B&Q which is 150mm wide and 18mm thick.
I wanted to install the same stuff (but 83mm wide instead) into my conservatory. However I'm concerned about the difference in temperature between summer and winter. Will this cause too much expansion/contraction with a solid oak floor?
Or is it the difference in moisture between summer and winter that is the real concern rather than temperature?
The narrower 83mm planks will not change size as much as the 150mm ones, but I'm still thinking this will not be a good choice for a conservatory.
I'm not gluing or nailing, rather I'm using a self adhesive foam so there is a degree of float to the floor.
Has anyone installed a solid wood floor in a conservatory?
