I think I've persuaded myself to lay a Kahrs Oak Dublin floor in my living room.
I'm a bit stuck as to what do around the fireplace. There's a rectangular limestone base (hearth) to floor around. I have taken skirting off in the room so dont want to use scotia as will make the fire place look naff.
So how do I deal with floor expansion around the fire. I guess i cant butt up against it? The room is 3 x 6m (in 5 year old house, concrete screed floor)and the fire is half way along the longer wall.
Also if the edge of the fireplace and th eopposite long wall are not parallel where is the best place to start the laying.
Hope you can help.
