I did, that is what this sub-topic is about.. When it comes to Flooring its not so much about aesthetics as it is about durability, and that’s why customers appreciate such simple yet efficient preventive measures to insure a new floor’s long life regardless of the dozens of problems that may occur over that course.

You originally said you didnt leave expansion, you didnt say around the perimeter, i agree with leaving expansion at the wall where you would close because if the floor will grow it will grow FORWARD, before anywhere else, thus the reason for EXPANSION ROWS, but in a room that small to leave 1/4 expansion mid floor is not necessary and personally its very UGLY.

New York City has electricity dude and air conditioning units, but they do not run 24 hours per day and on occasion they falter, and on occasion tenants may forget to maintain them or even turn them on, and from time to time it is possible that water may wind up on the hard wood floors. An easy way to counter any expansion is to leave a quarter inch along the perimeter should such circumstances occur. My customers expect me to counter these possabilities…

Any type of natural wood flooring requires space for expansion due to climate change, humidity, etc. dude
