Local company is laying Amtico flooring for me. Their contract worker sheeted the floor with 9mm ply and secured the sheet with 25mm ring nails. The joints have been screeded.
Laying the Amtico is half finished and I can see and feel the butt joints were the plywood sheets are joined. Where the Amtico has yet to be laid, latex covering is inadequate in that the plywood sheet edge is prominant.
I got the shop owner to come and check the sheeting of floor. He has done that but failed to react. In places small offcuts have been used for speed (in one place two pieces 7" square are filling a space 7"x14" instead of cutting the ply sheet to incorporate the gap- perhaphs i am overcritical in my observation). I have paid £1000 for the material with balance to be paid when job completed.
My question is, should I be able to tell where the ply joints are? By the way the laying of Amtico is good but preperation is another matter. Thanks in advance.
