Laminate flooring - which way would you do it?

Length or width way?

Today it went width ways into the skip.

Will need a lot more info to give any answers;

roll or planks?
any defining features in the room?

All things being equal I go length ways, less cutting etc.

What shape is the room? If it's practically square and large it doesn't matter, if it's an odd shape it can make all the difference what way you lay it. Also windows - front and back will make a difference etc.

more info. what are you laying on where is the main window/source of light in the room

as a general rule when i did our whole house, id lay length ways facing the main source of light ie window. If you lay width way against a window its not so bad but you can see all the joins.

If your laying on floorboards its better to lay the opposite way to which way the floorboards are running

theGrinch

Area is 30 ft by 15 ft
Laying on new extension (concrete floor) and existing (floorboards width ways).

Light source is at garden end.

Planks

One fireplace and two alcoves.

Wassa123

Perpendicular to the light.

So the lines draw your eyes towards the light source.
