we cut particleboard 8mm in rather then flush with the boundary joist.
In industry this would usually be flush with the boundary joist because the roof would be on within two days,since we take a little longer we make this cut to compensate for swelling.







              20mm flooring paricle board laid and nailed down,with glue around the edges for extra strength ,nailed at 200mm spacings and 150mm for intermediate joists.

  1. the flooring is usually cut in 8-10mm for all sheet flooring to allow for expansion in construction.

    the flooring is nailed at 150crs at sheet edges and 200mm for intermediate joists. the glue recommended is holdfast gorilla grip glue and is specified for sheet joins of flooring when there is no nogging at the sheet edge,i.e joist spacing
