What is the narrowest piece of Kronotex I can use?
The narrowest piece must be 2.5 inches wide. This is about as wide as one strip on a three strip décor plank. Please measure the net width of the room, deduct the space needed for expansion gaps on both sides and divide it by the width of the planks. This will give you the total number of rows (planks) for your project. If you come up with an uneven number of rows please remember that planks you cut lengthwise must be at least 1/3rd plank or 2.5 inches wide. Example: Net width of room 96″ minus 2 x 3/8″ (expansion gap) divided by 7.6″ (plank width) equals 12.53 planks. If you do not have at least .33 as a remainder you must rip the first row along the starting wall so the width of the last row against the finishing wall is at least 2.5 inches. Note heavy furniture e.g. sofa, entertainment center generally sits along the walls. It is important to maintain this minimum due to the weight frequently delivered to the floor along the walls.
