Dear trevor

There are more specialised wooden flooring companies in NL than there are here! Did you by any chnage buy a new product from Chapel Parket, know they're trying to get there aged and destressed flooring also curved, but can't see the priacticality in it (some architects etc might, but no proper fitter will love you for it

Oftewel, in NL zijn meer houtenvloeren speciaal zaken dan hier in UK, best om het daar eerst te proberen, wellicht by de zaak waar je e.e.a. hebt gekocht?

Depends on the curve. How much 'out of sink' are the boards? Or do you mean they are bowed? (Krom in de lengte of krom in de 'hoogte'?)
If bowed, then it depend how they are bowed: middle part of the board sticking up, that can settle it selfs, when fitted tightly. (You need a bit of force and arcrobatics to 'force' the boards T&G togehter, but it will work).

When ends of the boards are standing up from the floor, send the material back, specially when it's Wood-Engineered.

no the boards are machined with a slight curve!

Think you found yourself a jig-saw puzzle then. Best to ask the manufacturer. Whatever will they think of next! Don't they trust nature to do the same after years
