Have you downloaded installation instructions or called up manufacturer?
I've always used length of room. I suppose lite source is issue regarding
seams showing up but good click laminate has almost invisible seams these
days.

I'm seeing some contradictory information regarding this issue.

I've read that the rule of thumb is to lay plank flooring perpendicular to
the main light source (typically a window). However, I've also read that
in certain situations it is desirable to lay it along the longest point of
the room.

In our case, we're doing two very small bedrooms -- each roughly 10' x
10'.5" -- with a 5' (wide) x 32" (tall) window opposite each entry door.

As I envision it, it seems awkward to have the planks running from the
door to toward the window, as the twin beds in each room will run along
the (slightly longer) length of the room. Therefore, I "see" laying the
flooring the length of the room.

Does this sound acceptable? I don't want it to look dorky.

Thanks for any suggestions.
