Just a question: So if the floor plan / rooms are divided by doors etc, are "thresholds' for expansion due to different room temperatures etc 'DEFINITELY' needed (a must)...or is this only reserved for open plan layouts where the temperature is normally the same?.
Good question. I understand thresholds very different because i dont think thresholds are for expansion. People use thresholds between rooms because it easier to fit a threshold there than fitting running continues floor between rooms. Its harder to do that and thatw what i try to do always - one big floor without thresholds. Ans have thresholds only between new floor and carpet or tiles etc. keep expansion gap only around edge of the room.....
@@FinePineNorwichCarpenter Thank you so much for you reply. I asked because I had a LVT floating floor fitted about 6 months ago throughout the ground floor, with 4 internal doors. Both my floor fitter and I agreed that it looked better without the thresholds fitted, giving it an 'unbroken' flow from room-to-room, but he was also willing to fit them if I decided to have them. He done the same has you described, expansion gap on the outside edge only (with one at the front door also). The only reason I paid the manufacturing/supplier because without them fitted the 25 year guarantee would be invalid. So far all good and if something does happen (well they can always be added and scuffed etc to keep the warranty!)
What percentage do you allow for wastage with herringbone? Just watching you do the small infill underneath the radiator and i assume once you cut a small corner off the board, the rest is waste?
I allow about 10%-15% percent depends if its loads of turns and corners. In open big rooms there is less of cuts then many smal hallways with turns to the rooms....good luck you can do it!!
Here is that floor: www.flooringsuperstore.com/evocore-premium-herringbone-natural-english-oak.html I got it in norwich store called flooring superstore
Great job - love the look with the Herringbone finish
Thanks, Herringbone floors are so polular and they do look good!

@FinePineNorwichCarpenter thanks for the vote of confidence! If Wickes ever deliver it I may get it done. It's two days late already!!

Why did you not use an underlay?
It's built into the flooring, as described in the video around the 3 minute mark.
