Hello everyone,
I want to cover a long but narrow room (1.40m wide x 14m long) with vinyl. I have bought vinyl, everything is fine. But: you’re supposed to lay laminate/vinyl according to the direction of the sun. In my case, that actually means laying the planks widthwise. However, the plank is about 1.2m wide, while the room is 1.40m wide. With the necessary 1 cm gap from each edge, I end up with about 18 cm width for the piece of the second plank in the offset (30 cm is the minimum suggested).
My question: should I actually lay it like that with the short pieces in the offset. Or should I ignore the tip about the sun direction (lots of windows there...) and lay it lengthwise? The only potential downside there is that the long narrow room might look even more narrow... Uff. And if I cut the planks to get a reasonable width for the individual pieces, I will have significant waste or use much more vinyl... uff uff..
But you surely have one or two good tips for me
Best regards,
KlyX
