Hi,
I need some need T&G floorboard for a 1930's house, it currently has 5"x1" T&G boards. I look on various timer yard sites and they have boards of 150mmx25mm which is close enough, however they then state a 'Coverage' size which is usually something like 137mmx20mm. Now I can kind of understand that the tongue might be 13mm so reduce the width of the board but where is the 5mm going from on the thickness ? What does coverage mean ?
Example here: https://www.daviestimber.co.uk/products/REDWOOD-FLOORBOARD-25-X-150MM/P100342
Thanks in advice
