Hi
Greetings from Norway.
I have a room which needs new walls installing. There is currently no surface bar the internal fibreglass insulation blocks which are hard, but very large grained.
I've been told that the best way to prepare a smooth wall surface is to attach a wooden frame to the walls and then use these as a base for the tongue-and-groove chipboard panels that are used throughout my house.
Any suggestions for techniques for doing this would be appreciated, I've not done anything like this before.
In the same room the current floor level is about 8cm below the rest of the rooms and I was pondering ways of raising it. The obvious answer is to pour concrete to level it up, but given the room is some 35m^2 it's a lot of concrete!
I wondered if the frame for the walls could be done all around the floor, too, and then the gaps packed with insulations and chipboard screwed in on top to provide a base for a laminate floor. Any thoughts?
A very long rambling first post - sorry
Mart.
