Hi,
First time on so hear goes.
Was going to use laminate on cost basis but have bought a load of solid oak T&G boards in a sale for the hall and dinning room. Have concrete floor which being 60 years old I hope has dried out. Floors pretty level throughout.
Have been to local DIY store to look at underlay options. Seems to be 3 main options.
1. Green Fiberboard (do I need to lay a waterproof membrane??)
2. Some Silver combi membrane/foam stuff that looks a bit like those sun reflectors people put in their car windscreens in the summer. Might be worth it if waterproofing is required.
3. Some 'new'(?) rubber/foam stuff that is adhesive on top and the boards stick to - says it prevents the need for glueing (does it work?)
Gut feeling - currently favour 1. but not sure if waterproofing required.
Any views on the above welcomed. Or other better options if there are any.
Cheers.
