why cant they make the stuff with all the planks the same pattern?

I hate sorting them out in a individual file before laying them down. :-(

Weird,if you open 5 packs and just pick up random pieces the chances are you
might put two identical patterns in line with each other? thats why I
seperate them in identical patterns so as to not go back and forth swapping
them.

We had our floor recovered last year because of the flooding. The original
concrete floor was finished in Marley tiles which had to be removed both
because of damage and the fact they contained asbestos & we opted for an
oak laminate replacement. Literally, the whole ground floor being a 'blank
canvas' was covered prior to skirtings, door frames and kitchen units etc.,
being refitted.40 packs were used, opened one at a time & laid "as was" &
no two patterns were together.

Obviously, the floor layers were well versed in the proceedure but me being
me I had to read the instructions because they were there ;-) Anyway they
advised not to seperate or try & match the boards pattern/colour & to
stagger joints etc.

Don.
