ᐅ Orientation when Installing Hardwood or Laminate Flooring?

Hi everyone,

We’re slowly approaching the final stages. It looks like the floor tiling will be done next week, then the painter will be working in the house for two weeks, and after that, it will be our turn to install the laminate/wood flooring.

I’ve quickly sketched out a possible direction for laying the laminate/wood flooring. Does this make sense, or does anyone have a better suggestion? Laminate should always be laid parallel to the direction of natural light, but parquet perpendicular?! Is that correct?

The tile installation direction is shown in blue, laminate in orange, and parquet in red.

The orientation of the tiles follows the slope of the walk-in showers and is therefore basically fixed on both the ground floor and upper floor. But considering the lighting arrangement, it seems fine.

The orientation of the laminate in the basement and the parquet on the ground and upper floors still needs to be discussed…

Thanks and best regards,

Andreas
