Merry Christmas!
I just put down most of my ground floor in quickstep signature laminate.
it was as flat as a pancake, except where 2 rooms join (I didn’t put in a threshold gap). There is a very slight (3-4mm) difference in level.
I put screed and underlay underneath but not sure I built it up enough in one place. Now when I walk on it, it creaks slightly.
I’m not too bothered about the creak I’m just worried this eventually lead to planks coming apart. The lock system is pretty robust.
Is it best to pull up a lot of the floor up and sort out the creak, or am I being OTT.
the 3-4mm “step” runs at 90 degrees to the floor so it’s not underneath any joins of the laminate.
advice appreciated
