Hi:
Sometimes I have read it's necessary to reverse the direction of the flooring to extend it to a closet or hallway. I'm not sure that I understand why you need to due this. Can anyone give me a quit explanation.
Thank-you

"Reversing direction of strip flooring. Sometimes it's necessary to reverse the direction of the flooring to extend it into a closet or hallway. To do this, join groove edge to groove edge, using a slip tongue available from flooring distributors. Glue slip tongue in place and blind nail that edge. Proceed in the opposite direction nailing in the conventional manner." SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION SITUATIONS. NOFMA. Retrieved 07/18/02. http://www.nofma.org/installation5.htm
