Hello all,
I want to install (L=10' W=8" D=20mm) reclaimed pine boarding over concrete. total area size = (59SQM with the largest part 7.5M x 4.5M) This will be the lounge, kitchen, GF bedroom with shower and toilet, separated with plaster board walls between, fixed to floor... Should the boards be fitted along the length of the room or width, or does it not matter..?
I believe the best solution would be to float it over a membrane and polystyrene, gluing only the T&G and leaving a 15mm space all around walls...
The boards have come out of a building which was around a 150 years old and will be put through a machine that T&G's them and sands one side.. I guess i will varnish them, will the wood density be good enough for the job..?
I have never done anything like this before and would appreciate it if someone could tell me if this is possible and what problems there might be..
The house is a 1998 build that was flood damaged around 6 months ago... it should be pretty dry now as I have had dehumidifiers in and had it tested OK..
Any advice is much appreciated...
Thanks
