where to buy plastic tongue for overlay flooring?
Hello,
I have 120 square meters of good quality overlay flooring made out of 5 layers of plywood, with the top layer some sort of jarrah looking hardwood. The boards are 205 mm wide, and have a groove 4mm wide. Unlike most of these flooring types, the groove is on both sides of the board, and requires a plastic tongue strip to join the boards together. I have small bits of the tongue, so know what it looks like, but cannot find anyone who sells it. The strips are 15 mm wide and 4 mm thick, a sort of reddish brown colour. I would really appreciate some tips of where to get around 200 - 300 linear meters of this plastic stuff. Failing this, we will need to cut an awful lot of plywood strips to join the boards together.
thanks, Pavla

if you have dramas looking for the plastic strips (which i have seen at flooring supplies in the past) you can get strips of tassie oak from flummings that are 4mm thick and of varying widths - i'm sure 15mm would be sufficient for the task.
