Top Tips for Timber
- Ideally the boards should run the length of the hallway, not across it, which would result in many short boards instead of elegant long lengths, also affecting the time and cost of lay.
- Laying the boards across the width of a room will help make it seem wider.
- When laying new timber floors over the top of existing ones, it’s preferable to lay them across, not along the same direction, to ensure a more solid and stable finish.
