Yes it's engineered wood. I'm doing the whole downstairs of my house and I figured it would be best to just carry on through room transitions. I can use threshold trims but if there is a way to floor continuously that'd be preferable for me

I've seen many floors that don't have door bars between room transitions. Are you saying that they've not been fitted correctly?

I am looking to fit real wood flooring in two rooms with a door frame in the middle. I don't particularly want to have a joining strip. The boards will go along the width of the door and I am concerned that I might not be able to get the click-lock boards together once they are fitted into the...

What's the best way to fit channel drain around corners? I don't know if the corner boxes need to line up with specific parts of the channel drain or whether any cut will fit into the box. My lengths will almost certainly be random and there is a few corners to work out

I need to fit channel drain to a clay gully. I'm going need to join into the side. I think I will cut a 70mm hole with a glass cutter and fit a 68mm pipe in the side like someone else has done on this forum. The problem I have is that I can't find any channel drain with a 70mm outlet, they're...

Managed to get some pictures in finally!

Sorry I meant to say not perpendicular. So the planks are following the direction of the existing boards.

What would you suggest? Shuttering ply, OSB, chipboard? I was thinking OSB as it would form a good moisture barrier?

I need to lay real wood along the existing floorboards (not parallel). I have done my research and there is a mixed bag of people who say that you absolutely have to lay a ply subfloor, but then others say that it's not needed if the existing boards don't move. What do you think guys? Subfloor...

Ha Special K, that's my nickname. It's basically a clay u bend drain thingy. There are no pipe adapters or anything. I thought about cutting. Hole and cementing a pipe connector. Wondered if there was any better ways

I need to fit ground Drain around my patio. It will empty into an existing rectangular clay drain. How does one join the plastic ground Drain to the clay drain? Thanks!

I am looking to lay engineered/real wood foor down throughout my downstairs. The front part of the living room is floorboards which have raised edges (wavy), the rear extensioin is concrete. I plan to sand down the high spots on the existing floorboards and put a plywood subfloor down throughout...
