This is probably a very obvious basic question but I'm not that knowledgable. I assume it is possible to lay some kind of wooden/laminate type flooring over floorboards, but, how do you then get to the floorboards after it's laid to access pipework etc?
We are debating whether to have carpet or wooden floor in our lounge but are unsure as to practicalities of wooden floor given all the heating etc piping is under the floorboards. Maybe there's a specific type of wooden floor that is best to use in this case? Or maybe it's just better sticking with carpet? We don't want to have our existing floorboards as a floor btw - very draughty and don't look that good.
Thanks all.
