Movement. timber flooring is a hygroscopic product (i.e. it has a variable moisture content) which will change due to seasonal influences with heating and cooling. therefore some movement reflecting the nature of timber will occur. moisture. floorboards should be supplied between 9% and 14% moisture content.. Floorboards moving and causing movement structural work being carried out in flat below, ceilings removed by dodgy builders now bath, sink moving cracks and splitting of the casement windows large expensive carved marble fireplace dropping, new owner now denying any responsibility..
So far i purchased the extended break lever and shift lever from kuryakyn and the 1" out 1" forward adapters. looking for more floorboard movement forward. thanks, jeff. My husband and surveyor say all houses have movement but how much movement is normal? i like sitting on the floor by my bed which is on the first floor and whenever someone walk across the room or another bedroom, i could feel slight movement on the floorboards.. Do floating floorboards still shift after a decade? up vote 3 down vote favorite i understand that when you install floating floorboards, you need to be careful around the edge, with skirting boards, etc, to allow for the floorboards to expand, shrink and shift, or else they might buckle..
