Hey Gents and Ladies,
I'm soon to be laying engineered flooring in my 2nd floor new build flat (finished construction Jan 11). The existing floor is 300mm concrete covered with 22mm acoustic chipboard. Just a couple of questions please!
1. Am a right in understanding that I do not require DPM. Therefore Timbermate Duratex would be just the right underlay?
2. I am using reclaimed engineered floor (sanded at the factory). I assume my floor will still need acclimatising for 72 hrs?
3....and finally. Is it neccessary to test for moisture / humidity before I lay the underlay or can I just start laying it?
Thanks in advance all. I'm a new homeowner, complete beginner in DIY! I did manage to put a blind up today though!!
Thanks
Hellboy
