I did it wrong I had looked at Celotex and found the Stylofloor I must have done it wrong it was supposed to be my reply. The Stylofloor would raise the floor the 3 or 4 inches I wanted too. I think I will use battens similar to the photo above and cover with plywood. Thanks

I think I will use your suggestion unless there are any good reasons made against it. The plumber who fitted our shower put it on 22mm plywood ( I think he called it ships ply ) and I have used 6mm to cover the floorboards in the kitchen. Did your cross pieces include across the ends so the you...

Yes I am not sure the concrete is perfectly level and I don't fancy using self leveling compound. The question is :- is it better to fix the joist's / beams to the concrete with them leveled with shims and cover with floor boards or float the joist's / beams and fix 22mm chipboard with a 10mm...

I was going to set the joist's around the walls with a gap to the wall of 10mm then space the joist's 16in apart and screw them together by sloping the screws into both. I was then going to screw the chipboard to the joist's I was going to lay a foil insulation onto the concrete and then...

Sorry I should have said it was to be covered by carpet I am glad you said that about the using the chipboard under the carpet I was beginning to wonder what I should do but now I can fit ordinary joist's as part of a floating floor and cover with chipboard. Thanks for your help

I thought it was noise upward into the conservatory Thanks

It was the site advertising the joist's that states 18 / 22 mm chipboard. The floor will be covered by carpet so the finish is not important. The floating floor suggestion is because of the changes in temperature and humidity causes the wood to expand and if the floor is fitted against the wall...

I don't understand No.2. It was the site advertising the joist's that states 18 / 22 mm chipboard. The floor will be covered by carpet so the finish is not important. The floating floor suggestion is because of the changes in temperature and humidity causes the wood to expand and if the...

I had researched on the internet and found this - (Profloor Dynamic Batten provides excellent levels of impact and airborne sound insulation. The unique dual foam not only provides the performance characteristics but enables minor irregularities in the surface of the sub-floor to be taken...

Hi It has been suggested I fit what is called a floating floor. Fit the beams round and across the floor leaving a 10mm gap to the wall which allows for any expansion and then complete as previous, Should the beams be fixed or allowed to float, which is best ??

Found some Profloor battens online but they are 3600mm long which is about 11ft 10in but the conservatory is 14ft wide by 12ft how should they be fitted together along the perimeter wall and keep the 10mm gap all he way along and how would you fasten the batten ends to the perimeter battens or...

Thanks - I have looked at them on the internet they seem ideal - I had intended to screw t & g floorboards to the battens but the installation guide quotes 18mm + plywood which would be best, it is intended to carpet the conservatory floor

I was planning to screw joinsts onto the concrete floor but if I put a damproof insulation between the concrete and wood the screws will make holes in it. I was told I could fit the floor without screwing it to the concrete and that I should fit Kingspan but to raise it above the concrete to...

Yes I thought I would put insulation between the beams I was going to use 4 x 2 inches as the floor needs raising about 4 inches

About 3 months ago I had a Conservatory built it has French doors that step down onto a concrete floor I want to fit a floor with floorboards that raises the level about 4 inches. The concrete base has a damproof membrain. The concrete is not quite level, before the Conservatory was added the...
