OK, I just installed new vinyl planking which is floating, and installed it in 70 degree tremperature. All looked well with tight joints, as I was using locking joint planks that are 5mm thick. No glue or nails in the installation of the planks, except nailing the trim through the flooring and into the subfloor. Had a freeze two days later and four of my end joints toward the rear of my 25 ft trailer opened up from what was originally a tight joint.
I was told by the supplier that the vinyl would not be affected by temperature swings, one reason I chose the material. Now the supplier says the material is prone to constriction and expansion and I should not have nailed the trim, but glued it to allow a true float.
Anyone have advise or experience with similar situation?
