What is the 1-3 rule for flooring installation in Raleigh?

The '1-3 rule' for floating floors in Raleigh typically refers to the expansion gap required around the perimeter of the room, usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch per foot of flooring width. This allows the material to expand and contract with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity common in the area. Proper installation is crucial. A free consultation will detail installation needs.
