Hello
I have bought some solid wood floors. The guidlines from the manuafacturer are to lay the boards with tongue facing the wall, I have done this and it seems to look ok. The guidlines also state a 12mm expanion gap. This gap must include the tongue??. I have done this but the gap is now quite big as it includes 12mm as well as 5mm tongue? I am having difficulty finding trim that will cover this size of gap? Could I reduce the gap and basically ignore the tongue or must the expansion gap include this in the measurement?
Many thanks,
