Yes. A 10mm gap around the perimeter of the room must be left to allow the boards to expand and contract. Floors should also be broken in the doorways to allow for expansion and contraction at this point.

You need to leave space around the perimeter of the newly installed floor to allow for wood expansion. This can occur when the humidity of a room varies; if you fit the floor flush to an existing wall, the floor can 'blow' or lift upwards when there is no room to expand. We advise a minimum of 8-10mm on all sides - these gaps will be covered by skirting or beading. See similar questions...

expansion gap is the distance from the edge of your new flooring and an immovable object, such as a wall, fireplace, door casing etc. The gap normally needs to be 10mm but will increase on very large rooms and different products. See similar questions...

expansion gap of 1/2’’ – 9/16’’ (12-15mm) must be left around the perimeter of the room and around all heating pipes and other obstructions. A baseboard and quarter round molding will cover this gap. In large surface areas (over 875 square ft. (82 m 2)), the laminate flooring must be separated by an expansion gap that will be covered by a T profile. This allows the floor to expand and contract with changes in temperature and relative humidity. See similar questions...

A bridge—a device used to replace missing teeth—attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges can be applied either permanently (fixed bridges), or they can be removable. Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth—to provide support for artificial teeth—or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth.

Our bamboo flooring product is very stable with regard to expansion or contraction from moisture gain or loss; (we have a change coefficient of .00144 lower than almost any wood). However good practice dictates that an expansion gap of at least ? inches be allowed, especially in larger rooms. See similar questions...

If all the setting are correct on a boiler the expansion tank should never need to be drained. The tank constantly has water in it so ever if you drain it water will flow back into the tank. To drain the tank, you need to open the relief valve at the bottom of the tank, hook up a tube and drain. See similar questions...

There is a "gap" in the medical care teenagers with cancer are receiving, because sometimes adolescents with cancer are cared for by physicians who usually treat adults with cancer. Teens usually have a better chance of survival if they were treated by specialists in childhood cancer. Teenagers like to think of themselves as adults, not children, but the one time they need to be treated like children is when they have cancer and are choosing a physician to treat them.

It can detect changes in the concentration of the unmeasured anions and cations. More useful, the gap is used as an internal quality assurance monitor besides making sure your electrolyte panels are in balance. For instance, if all your panels were leaning to one side, this may be an indication of an error in one on your assays. If there are random abnormal gaps, this is more of a condition such as proteins, or acids present in the blood due to the samples (the patients) clinical condition. See similar questions...

It is just this area of the back that requires support of the back muscles and spine to prevent sitting discomfort. The Back Thing "fills the gap". See similar questions...

If your car is totaled or stolen, your insurance money likely won't cover the total amount you owe to pay off the lease. You would have to pay the "gap" amount out of your own pocket, unless you have gap protection. Many leasing companies include it automatically, but if yours doesn't, you really want to get it. Check your lease contract to see if you have it. If you don't have it, ask the lease company or check with your car insurance company to get it. See similar questions...

A chilled water system is filled with water at a temperature between 50 and 60?F. When the chiller is turned on, the temperature of the water drops to 45?F. When the water contracts, the system pressure drops, and the fill valve allows more water to enter the system to maintain the system pressure. If the chiller shuts down and the water in the system warms up to room temperature, the rise in temperature from 45? to ambient will cause the water in the system to expand. See similar questions...
