I've just had my sub floor replaced because of floor heave. The builder said that it wasn't necessary to use asphalt as I wanted to put a laminate down.
The concrete is level but a bit rough - although I've swept it, it still produces loads of dust and seems to just wear away slightly just from me walking on it in slippers. I haven't put any furniture back yet and we continue to live upstairs as the builder said that I should wait a few days - though he stressed it was OK to walk on.
My concern is that the floor appears to be wearing away very easily - is this normal? Should I put something on it to prevent this?
I have the green boards and the silver backed underlay for when I lay the laminate - will these things be enough or should I paint the floor with a sealant?
