Modern houses use chipboard instead of the floorboards of years gone by, i appreciate it is cheaper and easier to lay. But, what are the pros and cons of each (apart from aesthetics)?
e.g, how long does chipboard last, what are the defects associated with its use, does it provide a better floor than solid pine floorboards? What are the benefits of floorboards? What are the cons? e.g distortion etc
cheers
