I'd like some help, please, in deciding which way some floorboards should go.
The main passage has the floorboards running in the direction of the passage but at the end it goes into a triangular shaped room as you can see here
. There will be a double-cantilever stair fitted from the white wood support and down the right hand wall of the room. This stair goes through a partial turn on the top tread before the remaining treads being parallel to this wall
I am clear in my own mind that there will be an end board that sits on top of the white wood support and in the same direction. But I can't decide whether the remaining boards should go at a right angle to this end board (with a small 1" wide transition strip between the angled edges of these boards and the main passageway floor....
OR...
the remaining boards go at right angles to the main passageway floor (with no requirement IMHO for any transition strip)
The second option means that the boards are in the same direction as the staircase into the room (but you can't see this until you get to the threshold so may be irrelevant).
So my gut feel is the first option as the 'flow' of the boards carry you around the corner and down the stairs.
Any advice gratefully received
