    The OP was advised to go down the engineered wood route rather than real wood before even buying it. Sounds like wrong product, laid in a hurry and now causing issues.

    Less haste, OP, less haste!!

  • The wood will expand until it matches the humidity of the room.

    take off the last planks laid, let the floor expand for a month then refit/resize the last planks leaving the 10mm expansion gap as designed
