Got a lounge/diner to lay the above flooring in, its 9.50 x 3.70m - arch 5.00m from one end. Existing floor is 15 years old and has marley tiles on (no damp reading on protimeter). What do you think - too big to float, use elastilon or rip up existing, screed, dpm, prime, screed and bond.
18mm x 120mm oak floor

'Narrow' enough to install floating. It get's tricky when the room is wider than 5 - 6 meters (when installing solid floors, Wood-Engineered can 'tackle' up to 11 meters wide).
When installing floating, select a combi-underlayment - includes DPM that will prevent any 'sweating' from the tiles getting into the wood.

Did you buy a new product or reclaimed boards?
If new, was the brand 'Master's choice' by any chance? Rubbish! Many short lengths and width differences.
Also known as "cheap and awful".

Customer supplied the flooring from Howdens. Well packaged in sealed boxes and on first glance looked good. Wasn't till I started laying that I noticed the descrepencies. Called customer, he said just do your best (would have prefered it if he sent it back).
Brand on boxes was "Timberjack"
