We've bought a load of tongue & groove wooden flooring from Homebase. Having got it all out of the packets to mix it up, we've discovered that some of the tongues appear to be backwards.
To illustrate (the dark bit is the tongue)-
Normal:
Backwards:
Obviously, these two bits of floor can't fit together.
It would work if we only laid one type per row, but it doesn't seem quite right. I've never seen this kind of thing happen before.
Is this a normal thing to happen, or would we be justified in taking them back and insisting on replacements?
