They are the Uniclic system so no glue has been used. l had the Premium rep come out who was a really straight shooting type of guy and he said timber is a natural product and this is a normal occurance of the settling process. The worst of it occurs within the firs 1-2 months and we have been here for over 3mths now so l am hoping that's the worst of it. He took pictures and said if it gets any worse to contact him again. Interestingly he said their standard is if you can't see any damage/ scratching etc when you are standing then that is within tolerance. You definitely can't see our cracks when you are standing. Thanks for replying! Re: Hairline cracks in brand new floorboards 4Nov 27, 2008 9:26 pm It can depend on what time of the year they were laid and if they were acclimatised in the room properly.
The air is drier in winter so is a good time to lay timber flooring. Re: Hairline cracks in brand new floorboards 5Nov 28, 2008 1:26 pm Do you have to acclimatise the timber in the house? One floor guy told me that they do it in their warehouse and since the warehouse is close to our house, the humidity is the same. I'm not sure if I should believe him Re: Hairline cracks in brand new floorboards 6Nov 28, 2008 2:12 pm sammy Do you have to acclimatise the timber in the house?
