We installed some wall slats 2 years ago, the type which is MDF slats on black felt backing. The front of the MDF is faux wood and the sides are exposed black MDF. After a few months we noticed mould growing on the sides of the slats. The room is high and can occasionally be cold but we don’t...

Thank you. I think we're going to leave it as it. We've jumped up and down on it and it feels pretty solid. The PIR is fitted snugly, it's all pretty even, and with the weight of the gym mats on top, hoping it will all be ok. Thanks for your replies, really appreciated

Thanks for the reply, having a bit of a panic here :-) The joists and PIR are both exactly 50mm - I found some engineered joists at exactly 50mm rather than standard timbers, as couldn't figure out how we'd make that work with the timbers coming in at 45mm! We are constructing a floating floor...

We are converting our double garage into two rooms. We have put down 50mm PIR insulation and 50mm timber joists to add strength for the area which will be used as a gym. We have put T&G chipboard on top in that room, but stupidly haven't staggered the joins. What is the worst that could happen...

Chipboard, then underlay, then LVT, and then yes thick gym flooring is going on top to cover most of the space (we've bought the ones which come in 1m2 tiles which you fit together)

Thanks, will be a treadmill, exercise bike, home gym and a workout area. We have to do timbers in at least one area as there is an inspection manhole cover and I'm going to make a pull out section which I want to sit within a timber square on the floor.

Hi, yes free weights and a home gym, but nothing particularly heavy. The garage door has been bricked up and we've built out stud walls and insulated and plasterboarded. Thanks :-)

We are covering our garage and have painted a liquid DPM. We then plan on adding 50mm of celotex to the floor, with some timber supports in places around doors and where gym equipment will be as we've read this is suggested. We can't seem to find any specific details though on how we construct...
