Hello All,
I apologise for writing yet ANOTHER thread about real wood floors but I am confused.com as I have been told so many different things!!!
We have just had our extension finished and we want real oak floor throughout the whole of the downstairs. The extension was to open up our existing dining room and kitchen to make an big open plan kitchen/diner/lounge area. We have floorboards throughout the house that are in good condition. In the kitchen/diner/lounge area we have floorboards in the original building and concrete screed up to the same level as the boards in the kitchen and new dining room - this has a DPM.
Now - what can we do. We would like the wood floor to run the length of the rooms downstairs which unfortunately is the same direction as the floorboards - is this a problem?
Is it a problem laying real wood on 2 different sub floor types that are at the same level? I have been told so many different things I am considering having lino!!!!!!
Can I have the same underlay underneath the floor on the concrete as the one used under the floor on the floorboards?
Apologies for probably covering old ground but there are so many opinions out there I want the quickest/simplest and most cost effective answer out there (I don't want much I know!!)
Many thanks in advance!!
