Hi,
I've just laid new pine tongue and groove floorboards on the first floor of our house. The joists below were replaced a couple of years ago and chip board was put on top of them. I'm replacing the chipboard with the floorboards as its a period property and they'll be finished and exposed.
The problem is that it all looks great, but in quite a few areas, the boards are creaking! I used brads nail to fix them down two across the board at each joist and the floor didnt creak before with the chipboard.
Is there anything i might've not done properly? They are hammered in flush with the boards.
Thanks, Mike
