I would like to raise the floor between my kitchen and hallway. The kitchen floor is 22mm lower, and currently has tiles on the floor. The hallway has laminate flooring down.
The new laminate is 8mm.
Kitchen floor is already pretty much level.
edge of existing laminate has a little play in it, e.g. i can lit it up by a few mm if needed.
Thus far I have come up with the following possible options:
1) put down a sheet of dpm, buy 18mm t&g chipboard and put laminate straight on top.
2) buy 12mm osb3 (down side its not t&g), buy 5mm of insulation and put laminate on top
3) but 15mm celotex boards and put laminate on top.
I like the idea of using t&g as i think it will create a stronger base for the laminate to sit on, what do you think?
Any advise that would be great
