Am wanting to get engineered wood installed in the ground floor rooms but the flooring company have said that around half of the floor area (different material than rest of house as was added as front extension) has a moisture content that is a bit too high for them to fit.
The measurement is 4.3 to 4.5 and they have said it should be around 3.5 (im not sure what this is measured as I've only seen percentages for moisture content of floor before)
Anyway, i can't afford the time to wait months for it dry (if it ever would) and want to get the engineered wood installed asap.
Can i paint the screed area with something or lay a DPM sheet down and last the wood in top. I guess the wood can't get glued down.
Any recommendations?? And any brands/materials recommended
Many thanks
