Re: T/G Floor panels

Have you bought 2.4m lengths from B&Q or somewhere?

Beware - B&Q also sell 16mm (finished, approx), which is a PITA
as I had to make a garage door for someone just now that ended
up being made of 16mm & 18mm mixed. Whoever heard of 18mm boards,
let alone 16!!

I don't understand this "floor panel" bit. What is it?

If you're just laying PT&G flooring, I should waste the overhangs,
therefore avoiding the need for support, and *certainly not* use
glue, which can lead to awful splitting problems.

Chipboard. P4 is standard, P5 has a green surface to denote it's moisture
resistance additive. May be referred to as 'Caberfloor' in the merchants.
