Replacing Original Floorboards

thebadger7 · 21 Jul 2016

Hi all

I'm replacing the original Victorian floorboards (not tongue and groove) in my living room as they're in bad nick.

How can I best preserve the character when replacing - I'm assuming nailing to joists would be best as opposed to using screws?

Found some reclaimed floorboards but they are 2m long, whereas room is 3m long - will having multiple boards spanning the length caused any issues with floor strength?

Also want to minimise gaps between floorboards - any recommendations for new T and G floorboards that look the part?

thanks

Luke
