If necessary, cut the floor beadings to the suitable length.ATTENTION: Depending on the climate at the house location, the floor boards can either swell ordiminish. If the floor boards are very dry while the climate is damp, they will easily absorb moisture. Inthis case, the floor boards should not be attached very densely to avoid likely bulging.

But if your climate is warm and dry, youcan install the boards densely because they will become drier and spaces may appear between them.Storm braces (NB!
