I have just replaced my old floorboards with new 22mm T+G
floorboards (600x2400 mm).
When I stand on the edge of one floorboard and jolt up and down I can see a slight movement between the boards and it creaks
I thought this would not happen with T+G boards.
The boards are tight together and I used no. 8x2" screws,
drilled a clearance hole and screwed 3 of them in the width
of the board in every joist.
The joist are 18" apart.
Can somebody tell me the reason for the movement and creak
and how to rectify it.
