    Yes the front door was open the whole time but the outside temperate was practically the same as the inside.

    Seen it shrink in most gregs shops and then the ends lift.
    Most the fitters, F44 it now and balls to amticos guarantee, it stays put then, a bit too well if you have to pull any up :mad:.

    You want the planks slightly colder then the room they are going in. That way planks will tighten up

    There are little tips and tricks to cover up gapping issues (not that I've had any)
    Silicone really isn't one of them.....

    I always keep doors closed...., floor temp is generally 10degs lower than room temp.. Cool draughts will lower it slightly more..

    Ultimately there's a right way to install LVT..., and then there's the other way..... Generally, if it's installed the other way..., issues could be experienced ...
