Hello,
Hope somebody can answer this question for me?????
I am about to lay a solid hardwood floor on a concrete slab in the lounge of a new house.
I have allowed the floor to dry out for the last two months and intend on sheeting it with 1000 gauge DPM, laying battens over that and secret nailing the floor to them.
The floor is broken up into lengths of 900mm,800mm,500mm,400mm and 300mm.
My question is,
What spacings should the battens be to accomodate the floor and is it common practice to have a batten directly underneath the joining of each end piece.
Any advice welcome!!!!!!!
