Not wanting to be pedantic or anything but aren't timber floors laid out so as to hit the joists? ie not random bond?
U don't want to be pedantic but.......... Hahaha
Ok so bad turn of phrase!
Timber floors APPEAR to look as if the off cut begins the new row.
(Because they generally do nowadays!)
And besides, when was the last time you saw a new timber floor laid directly to joists?
Every timber plank floor I've see laid in recent memory is overlaid on a boarded floor, or screed.
I'd agree that random bond is better looking though!
That's cos it is. Haha
Imo there is nothing more unsightly than an imitation plank floor laid like a tiled floor, ie half or quarter bond.
Surely the whole idea of a porcelain plank floor is to look just like a timber floor, else why would the good quality ones be textured just like timber.
I'm not digging u out impish, honest, but c'mon, you knew what I meant didn't you.
Just don't believe u said that! Haha
