ᐅ 3-Layer Engineered Wood Flooring: Are There Gaps and Splits in the Backing Layer?

Created on: 29 Oct 2014 12:30

Hello dear forum,

we ordered three-layer oak click parquet online.
There are gaps in the underside, which are partly held together with binding threads.
I found this a bit concerning and contacted the seller, who said:

"These gaps are located in the backing veneer layer, which acts as a counterbalance to the top layer. Normally, this is not a problem.
If it bothers you, you can take pictures, but the manufacturer’s response will be as I described. No problem.

The thread: the backing veneers are sewn by hand … the thread you see is the yarn used for this."

So far, I have not been able to upload a photo (error despite 20kb).

What is your opinion?

Thanks and regards

I wouldn’t do that; it most likely won’t fit properly afterwards.

The problem is that we have to move in 3-4 weeks, and we have anhydrite screed with a residual moisture content of 0.6% (0.3% required), so there is no flooring or kitchen installed yet.... 🙁

I thought it was recommended to unpack it beforehand so the parquet can absorb the room humidity – in other words, reach its future size. (In case it was stored extremely dry or wet beforehand).
