Why do you need transitional mouldings in all doorways and connecting ways?
For a floating installation, the boards are affixed to each other and the flooring will expand and contract as a whole. Each room wants to expand and contract independently. Push/pull or sheer forces will be transferred to the small section of flooring in the doorway or connecting way adjoining the two surfaces can cause buckling or gapping. Also, if you want to change direction of the boards, you can use an expansion transitional moulding to separate the two areas. [ top ] 12. Can I use regular wood glue in the T&G? No. Regular glue does not provide the elasticity to cope with the constantly changing pressures imposed by foot steps. Brittleness of regular glue may cause the glue to fracture and the bonds will let go causing the planks to separate from each other. You need to use D3 PVAC (polyvinyl acetate) glue which is formulated for floating floors. We recommend our Deccobond 18 Tongue and Groove glue.
