Hi I have just laid a solid wooden flooring in my hall :D The thing is I have noticed that in an area the flooring is a little bouncy due to the uneven base below it. :cry: Is there anything i can do to remedy this without ripping the floor back up to level the floor below better...

Hi Wood. :) The two rooms I have are concrete floors. Both pretty much level. But one is about 20-25mm lower than the other. I will be putting down a Damp proof membrane on both floors and will be putting in a threshold. At the moment I am laying plywood to build up the lower floor and...

Hello again. :) I am planning on laying the solid birch wood on plywood in both rooms. Should I have the ply just floating as well on the concrete with the floor laid on top of the ply? I am going to tape this pieces of ply together and am going to try and get the biggest pieces...

Oh yes How thin would the hardwood sheets have to be( 5mm?) or does it matter? Thanks again :D

Many thanks! :D Right for my next question. I am worried about how straight the lines of the joins will be when laying the floor through the two rooms. The rooms have double doors connecting them. I dont want it to look like a dogs leg you see :lol: Do you reckon that I start in a...

:wink: Many thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I didnt think the nailing onto a concrete floor was possible :lol: And yes it is solid birch flooring. That elastilon sounds the best bet for the back room. Is it like peeling a bit back and laying the flooring on top, peeling a bit more...

Thanks. Can you nail it straight to concrete? :? I would think that the concrete would not take the nail. And if you put a DPM down and nail through it then the seal has gone???? I am going to use the DPM underlay in the back lounge. I am going to use DPM and plywood sheets in the front...
