Oiled oak parquet in the kitchen - Some questions

Hello,

in the next few days we will be installing an oiled oak parquet (click parquet country plank by the company Haro) floating in our kitchen (4m x 4m floor area). The manufacturer specifies a wall gap of 2 mm per meter, at least 10 - 15 mm. The kitchen unit will stand on the parquet along two walls in an L-shape, including a heavy wood stove.
Now to my questions:
1. Do I need to leave a larger gap at the free walls, since the parquet on the side where the kitchen stands might not be able to move due to the weight?
If yes, what gap would you recommend?
The planned skirting boards are 2 cm thick, and if possible I would like to stay below that :-)
2. Would it be better to glue the planks since the parquet is installed in the kitchen in order to seal the joints?
3. Should the floor be oiled again after installation as a precaution, or is it sufficient to apply the sealant?

I have not found any specific installation instructions for the kitchen on the internet, and thought I would ask in the forum first before contacting the manufacturer.

Looking forward to answers,

Best regards

Please observe the manufacturer information
With click parquet, it is usually not necessary to glue the joints
A wall distance of 8mm is sufficient

Pretty good idea….For 10 years I have had an industrial parquet floor in the kitchen and living-dining area (all open). It looks like new and has never had to be sanded. An industrial parquet lasts a lifetime, you can sand it 10 times and besides that, it really looks great.
