Hardwood floor - what direction
It's a little late to ask, since they are here installing the floor now, but
there is a question on which way the floor should be laid in relation to the floor joist. The joist run perpendicular on the new addition to those in the old area, and we'd really like to keep the floor running the same direction throughout. the new area is a family room that opens off the new kitchen that is in the old area. There really isn't a good place to 'transition' from one direction to the other. The installers say it isn't an issue, just run it all the one way (which is perpendicular to the new joist). The general contractor says we should transition. I've opted for the flooring guy's opinion, and the builder has pretty much given in, but says if there are problems it will be the flooring guys responsibility to fix it. Should I sleep well tonight with the floor looking the way I would like it to look, or should I toss and turn knowing I'll have flooring problems down the road? Thanks group! You've been a good resource (for useful info and humor!) over the years! Mark |
