    Shouldn't be any gaps

    It's not the worst I've seen and easily sorted

    So I should be asking them to re-cut / lay the ones with edge gaps?

    What can be done about the ones that are not at the edges?

    Big bunt flat headed screw driver will close any gaps between planks Sounds crude but it does work

    It will work for a few hours! Fitting Da Vinci last week and some random planks are 3mm shorter than others.

    Run it along the gaps and apply a small amount of pressure downwards It pushes the wear layer down and closes the gap

    Slip and you can scratch the floor tho
