Why It Reads Right
Specified Together.

A living room usually carries the largest continuous run of floor in the house, and that run is visible from more angles than any other surface. It is laid out from the longest sightline rather than the nearest wall, and the transitions into adjoining rooms are decided at the same time. The fireplace and any built-in surfaces are specified around it.

In most open plans it should. A single floor running unbroken reads larger and avoids transitions in the middle of a sightline. Where rooms are genuinely separate, a transition at the door line is the natural place to change.

Solid hardwood is refinishable for decades but wants a dry, above-grade subfloor. Engineered wood gives the same surface with less seasonal movement and works over concrete. Luxury vinyl is fully waterproof and the most forgiving with pets and children.

Along the longest sightline in the room, which usually means running away from the main entrance or parallel to the longest wall. Running boards across a long room shortens it visually.

The substrate has to be prepared and rated to carry the weight, and clearances around the firebox are set by the appliance rather than the stone. Both are confirmed before the first piece is set.

About ten percent above the measured area for a straight lay, and fifteen for diagonals or herringbone. Order it all at once so every box comes from one production lot.
