Beautiful floors, thanks for sharing the process.
Glad you like them!
Smaller boards work better.
Easier to install, less issues with movement and any deformation/defects becomes less apparent or problematic (depending on the wood species and environment)
Also softwoods or fragile hardwoods work better in an parquet style because they become less prone to lifting up or one board going bad and making you remove half the floor or it entirely.
Sorry, user-wy5ch2xc8z , but design wise that’s a big “no” for both suggestions.
The large boards (and the finish) they chose really look great.
Like we mentioned in the video, we went with pine, in this size, because it matched the rest of the flooring in the upstairs of our house. We had no trouble with installing these. And our other flooring is laid out in the same pattern, and is 200 years old, with no boards lifting or needing to remove any, so I'd say we're good with it lasting this way! 🙂
