Laminate / Wood flooring on 'NOT' 100% flat floor

[khamill]

Hello Guys

Having my room floors screaded at the moment, used to be an old factory made into flats, floors where all over the place. Anyway, there differences in the floor of up to 2 inches in points. I was advised by a lot of people, that I would never get the floor Completely flat, and that flooring would go onto the scread as long as not lumps or bumps.

Guys have done around a 1/4 of the job, and looks great, but as I said, some slight gradiants still, but nothing major.

Will laminate / Wood flooring go onto it ok?

Ive been told not to worry, just the perfectionist in me has me concerned.

thanks in advance guys

is it flat ??
if its flat on a slope then fine
its hollows that cause problems if you have anymore than 2mm dip over a metre you will begin to get springing and creaking

Hi All

Yer mate, its flat, and it does slope, but as you say, doesn't go over 2mm within a metre.

Its a big space (80 metre squared), and was thinking it may not take laminate, for a space that size, would you think you would need flooring more than 7mm thick, or wouldnt it matter?

Trying to do it as cheap as poss, on the bones of my bum lol!!!

thank You man
