I know it has t&g but didn't think people would refer to chipboard as that.
Kind Regards, John
I know it has t&g but didn't think people would refer to chipboard as that.
We know they have the facility.As I've often said it's a pity that, unlike the situation in many a forum (including several that I have managed over the years), the mods seem not to have the facility and/or inclination to split off the 'subsequent discussions' into separate threads - for people to follow or ignore as they wish.
Never used the stuff, and I hope I never have to, but that seems like a lot of faff. OOI, is a double layer with the joints staggered a viable alternative?And just to diverge off topic, that T&G chipboard will squeak like hell unless you glue all the joints, brace any unsupported mating ends and use decent size screws (5mm diameter) at ridiculously close intervals to fix it down.
Yes, I know but if you wanted it removed would you ask someone to "remove the tongue and groove" or "remove the chipboard"?
I got caaught out like this on site a few months ago - luckily not quite what you describe. I was told the key for the property was in the garage under the T&G flooring. So I moved about 30 lengths of floorboards to no avail. After a few phone calls, turns out it was under the chipboard flooring on the other side of the garageYes, I know but if you wanted it removed would you ask someone to "remove the tongue and groove" or "remove the chipboard"?

Probably neither - I'd probably just ask them to remove "the flooring" - just as I would if I wanted T&G timber floor boards removed. I personally don't think I would ever ask anyone to "remove the T&G" (any more than I would ask them to "remove the square edged"), whether I was talking about timber boards or chipboard etc.Yes, I know but if you wanted it removed would you ask someone to "remove the tongue and groove" or "remove the chipboard"?
Indeed, if one justs wants 'it' (whatever material) 'lifted'. EFLI's phrases used the word "remove", which caused me to assume that he meant 'lift and take away', rather than just 'lift' (or 'take up').“Can you lift the floor”. Anything else sounds odd.
I really don't think this is an issue which warrants any discussion.
That's the way my bathroom domer flat roof has been constructed after I commented that I didn't like the idea of all the joints being between joists.You're not very good at this, are you?Never used the stuff, and I hope I never have to, but that seems like a lot of faff.

Ye Gods.You're not very good at this, are you?
People tend not to walk about on flat roofs as much as they do internal floors. And I suspect that if they do they would be more tolerant of creaking than they would be with internal floors.That's the way my bathroom domer flat roof has been constructed after I commented that I didn't like the idea of all the joints being between joists.
