Which direction should you run hardwood flooring in a long hallway???? Long
ways or cross ways?
The sub-floor is 3/4" plywood. Going perpendicular to the floor joists
would mean laying the hardwood "cross-ways" (the width of the hall), but I
think I would prefer the appearance if it were long-ways (along the length
of the hall).
Is there a right or wrong here? How bad is it if I do not go perpendicular
to the floor joists?

You're paying, right? Then you run it any damn way you want.
By the way, more than one question mark is said to be a sure sign

Me, I can't say which way I'd run it, would depend on my mood.
Unless any rooms were floored with it too, then I'd run it the same
direction.

Matt,
I had a hall that was 77 feet by 42 inches. I installed the flooring
cross ways because of the difficulty of nailing the flooring down
without hitting the wall. However, I did not consider wood movement
enough. 77 feet of flooring has to move, even in an air conditioned
house. After a couple of years, I got 40 feet of washboarding, where
the wood expanded (across it's width -- I used 4 inch quartersawn red
oak flooring). Another hall, 16 feet long at one end of the longer
hall has shown no problems, so I would guess that its the aggregate
length that contributed to the problem. Yes, I let the wood acclimate
for 2 full weeks, in the rooms along the hall, with the bundles open
and spread out. I don't know how long your hall is, and only about the
middle of my hall washboarded. I didn't want to surface nail one third
of the oak pieces, which I would have had to do if I had gone
lengthwise, so I went cross ways.
I used a nailer (hammer powered, not air) so maybe the floor just got
put in too tightly as the distance went on, but most of the
washboarding was in the end closest to where I finished.
Hope this helps,

With only 3/4" ply, and flooring running lengthwise, you will get dips
between the joists over the years. This can be remedied by another 3/8" ply
or blocks between the joists.
Appearance is a matter of taste. Running lengthwise is much harder to
install, but easier to sand. The short way is much easier to install but the
sanding is all edger work.

I suppose it depends on the hallway. However, I know
some folks that have an old farmhouse with a large hall through
the center. the planks are laid down the length of the hall,
and, are alternating hard maple and walnut. Looks very nice.
By the by...I understand the wood was cut and milled onsite
when the house was built...

Ed, I didn't think it was the correct/or the incorrect way to do it.
This was in one of those beautiful Victorian mansions (American
Victorian) built in the 1870s. This was in the McKnight section of
Springfield Massachusetts. This beautiful structure had been divided
into apartments and, other than partitions, hadn't been too badly
butchered. The long hall just didn't look good and I expect it's more to
my eyes conditioning to expect long runs with long. Inspect I could
change, but thinking about it, naaaa.

Did mine cross ways. I like the look. Give the appearance of a wider hall
and flows right into the room at the end of it where the wood is in the same
direction. . FWIW, you never see hallways in the brochures, just full
rooms.

I say compromise. Nothing adds fun to a flooring job more than running them
at 45 degrees to the walls.

"Run it long ways down the hall. Floor joists are irrelevant. You will not
be nailing to them. "
While you will not be nailing to floor joists, they are not irrelevant.
Crosswise of the joists will give a much less springy, stronger, floor. I
think long wise down the hall does give a better appearance.

longways is the way I've always
seen it done in a long hallway.

Mat, the answer is simple. Lay some boards down in both directions and see
which you like the best. As a rule of thumb, if you run them length wise,
the hall will look narrower and longer. Lay them width wise and the hall
will look wider and shorter.
I laid wood flooring in our very modest master bathroom. The room is 6'
deep from the door and 12' wide and I laid the flooring such that the length
of the board was in the 6' depth direction. The bathroom literally looked
twice as big after I was finished.

The conventional wisdom is that flooring should always run parallel to
the long direction of the room. In a hall that means running the long
way. If you sub-floor is adequate the direction of the joists is
immaterial (remember that carpet gets laid directly on sub-flooring
all the time and those floors don't have sagging problems).

I've been thinking about this since mine runs crosswise and the majority
seem to think length wise. My conclusion is: It all depends.
If you have say four rooms off a hallway, some of the flooring in the rooms
may be running the same direction as the hallway and it would look OK, but
the rooms at the end would not have the flow into them from the hall. It
would be a compromise of sorts.
In my case, the family room flooring runs crosswise to the hallway, so since
it is the same flooring continued, it is natural to follow the same
direction. I think if I changed direction, it would look awkward. I'll
eventually do the room at the opposite end and continue in the same
direction. Off to the side is a bathroom and utility area and since neither
has wood flooring, it does not matter visually.
I looked as some web sites for flooring, but none seem to show a hallway.

Split the difference. Run them cross-ways for the first half of the
floor, and the long wat for the second half.
tt, who feels certain someone will say I'm wrong -- that it should be
the long way for the FIRST half, and cross-ways for the second.
Like MSH noted, sanding is gonna be an issue if it's run crosswise, no?

Run it long ways down the hall. Floor joists are irrelevant. You will not
be nailing to them. Put down 30 lbs felt paper under the floor. Stagger
all joints by at least 6". Rent a good floor nailer. Move the wood into
the space to be floored at least two days before you lay the floor. Have
fun. I like doing a floor occasionally.

I have cereal or toast for breakfast? I know that's not really a
"project" question, but I need to start the day off right BEFORE
starting my project, which today is CROWN MOLDING!
I would say pass on both the cereal and toast. Get something with
a lot of bran.
You gonna run the crown molding cross-wise, or length-wise?

There must be a hundred silver dollars in here. I can't handle that sort
o' money, you've gotta be in the league of lawyers to steal that much.

I'm going to run it with the profile facing the wall and ceiling. That
way it will be easier to sand before applying the finish, which will be
olive oil. I think I'll use flour and paste to stick it to the wall.
Nails are just for wimps! I'll end each piece 1 foot from the corners
so I won't have to do any tricky mitering and coping. You know how hard
it is to "cope" these days.
:) and why are you "T"? (that's the 3rd time I've asked politely now,
sweetheart!)
gotta run...in all seriousness, I'm just finished sanding. It's time
for the stain...

Well gee, Butter cup. I was polite too. I didn't tell you to get
stuffed, did I?
Lower profile.

Is the wide part of your profile up or down? If a reputed dummy like
myself knew the first time I spotted "T." that it was you, how exactly
are you faking out the brainiacs out there?

Well Dave, as far as I know, it didn't fake out anyone, didn't
figure it would. It's like I said, lower profile.
