I have a room which is approx 20m2 which I have purchased a solid french pine flooring for, please can someone advise me the bast way to lay this? our floor is concrete and has the plastic membrane as it is only 10 years old. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi Alpha
T&G on the floorboards? Install a combi underlayment first (DPM + sound-insulation) then 'float' your boards on it, glueing the T&G's. Leave 10 - 13 mm expansion gap all around
I know you have DPM underneaht the concrete, this DPM is to protect the wood from any residue moist in the concrete, so use it.
thanks for your advice! i have laminate flooring down at the moment which has some sort of underlay! will this be ok to re-use as a combi underlayment (DPM + sound-insulation) ? am i correct in thinking normal PVA glue is ok to glue the t&g???
im going to take the vile laminate up tonight! so fingers crossed that the underlay is sound! thanks for your info, you have been a great help.....cheers
