I am going to lay a parquet floor using reclaimed teak T+G blocks in our front room. Along with this I'm hoping to incorporate soundproofing layers into the floor.
I am thinking of laying 18mm T+G chipboard as a floating base for the parquet over 2 thin and dense soundproof layers (7mm) which are glued on to the existing wooden floorboards. The parquet is then glued onto the chipboard using a parquet adhesive.
My concern is that the 'floating' part of the T+G chipboard might be problematic. My problem is the soundproof layers must not be breached by screws as this reduces its effectiveness. Otherwise I would opt for a ply base.
Any ideas? Thanks
