This minimum must be increased to 8 mm for areas larger than 100 m\u00b2 (consult your supplier for larger areas). <strong>Note: <\/strong>the minimum expansion gap is defined as the smallest gap between product and static fixture, that can be measured at ANY point around the perimeter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>To allow for thermal expansion, door frames should either be undercut, or an expansion gap left. Skirting should either be removed or undercut. Alternatively, a suitable edge trim should be used to cover the expansion gap.
