I purchased click/lock engineered flooring and had an expansion joint question. Upon reading the manufacturer's installation instructions, they recommend an expansion joint for any area run 30 ft or larger. I am running hardwood from room to room and I would have two 30ft plus sections measuring from a room to room via the doorway space only. My question is: Do I need to put an expansion joint at the doorways and cover with T-molding in order break up a 30ft plus run? I included a picture for one example. Unfortunately, regardless of the direction I run the floor, I will have at least one 30ft + section. Any guidance is appreciated.
