Hello everyone,
next week our parquet will arrive, which we want to install floating ourselves. It is a country house plank, oiled, 3-layer, 1-strip with a solid wood carrier layer.
Originally, I thought of a random pattern to have as little waste as possible, of course observing the minimum joint distance of 50cm. But now someone told me, who has already laid several floors (not a professional), that he would lay the joints in a row to have a continuous joint every other row (English pattern). This supposedly ensures that the movements of the parquet are more regular, as adjacent planks compensate for each other. Otherwise, the joints could partly deform in such a way that they become clearly visible.
Is there any truth to this, or does it not matter at all?
