Re: Regarding Vertical And Horizontal Floor

.... ...hmmmm

vertical implies that it's standing up (in my mind anyway). Explain a little more and maybe someone can help you...at very least, we'll try

Re: Regarding Vertical And Horizontal Floor

Sounds more like a Bamboo thing.
The slats are either laying next to each other flat, or tilted on the side.

Re: Regarding Vertical And Horizontal Floor

I don't know, - - I would guess he's talking about a 'visual orientation', - - in other words, - - longways or across.

If that's the case, - - I usually run floors 'longways' to avoid a 'ladder' effect.

Re: Regarding Vertical And Horizontal Floor

Bob's got my vote. If you T&G a wall, does it then become a floor?

Re: Regarding Vertical And Horizontal Floor

Donedat, it's called 'trippin'. Popular back in the 60's and 70's but I wouldn't know much about that.

I think that's when you see rainbow colored hardwood on the ceiling complete with big white daiseys.
