    Has anyone had a go at bending a 3"x9" Art select parquet tile around a bullnose?
    Im laying a hallway soon and always try to bend woodplank lvt around bullnoses but ive never tried it with such a short plank.
    My concern would be, as it's bevelled, getting the headers to line up if they fall on the bend, or are the tiles long enough to fit around the bend in one?.

    Thanks

    How about cutting its longer full plank equivalent down to 3", put a new bevel along its length then create the bend. Once it's shaped and cooled cut it down to length and put a new bevel on the end cut.

    Yeah if it's blonde oak. Get a spring oak art select plank and form a curved block out of it.

    Parquet Blond Oak AP01 = Spring Oak RL01
    Parquet Auburn Oak AP02 = Dawn Oak HC01
    Parquet Black Oak AP03 = Midnight Oak HC06

    Happy cutting! :)

    Thanks fellas, Jambo, i like the sound of using the longer plank, I think that's the answer.
