Laminate Flooring installed in parallel direction to natural light?
We are planning to install laminate flooring in our kitchen made by a company called Kaindl. They say to install the flooring in the same direction to the natural light. We are going to install the snap+silent laminate in our kitchen.
A install guy at Home Depot says that the flooring should be installed perpendicular to the natural light coming into the room, otherwise if you install it parallel to natural light you get a "bowling alley" effect... The instructions state "Snap+ silent panels should always be installed in the direction of the main light source". (http://www.kaindl.com/en/shift/snap_...s_silent.shtml) ...
Install it parallel, not perpendicular??... what do we do?
Anyone?

It seems to me, you pretty much answered your own question there.

If the employees at HD knew anything at all about installing floors, they sure wouldn't be pulling minimum wage, telling you misinformation!!!!
HD employees have led many DIY'ers down the road to flooring failures.
