Question: I have a question for you concerning hardwood installation. We have a large space that makes up several rooms. We are thinking about laying one section out in a diagonal (I know it makes things difficult). But my question is this: Between the “straight” area and the diagonal I was going to install a perpendicular board as a transition. Do I need that, or can you butt up the edge of the diagonal board to the straight one? In either case, do I need to slot the end of the cut diagonal board to accept the groove (of either the transition board or the straight boards)? If so, what is the best way to do that?

Thanks,
Mark

Answer: Mark,

I think what you’re asking is how to join the diagonal wood to the wood that is straight. First of all, you don’t have to make a new tongue or groove to join the two together. You could put a board between the two, or you could use a t-mold between both ends. Either way should give you a nice transition.

Let us know if you need any help.

Sincerely,
Mike Jones

Acacia Hardwood – The Truth About Short Leaf vs. Long Leaf Acacia

Acacia has been growing in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. Its popularity has been fueled by this hardwood's beautiful swirling grain and character that is truly unique and exotic. However, not all Acacia is the same. The kind of style that is commonly thought of as having that unique Acacia look is actually called "short leaf." The other kinda is known as "big leaf." Big leaf has far less character than short leaf and is also much cheaper.
