    Expansion and contraction. Typically not an issue if indoors with constant room temperature. However, if you are doing construction and the temp is fluctuating, it can happen. Placing the vertical joints at the opening corners would be beneficial.

    Quoted from jp1985:

    The temperate in that area has been pretty stable since these units went in. Someone on site suggested they didn't let the wood adjust to the humidity before applying the laminate?

    Similar issue as if they were humid, they will contract as they dry out. The cracks definitely appear to be an E/C issue.
