Hi
I’m thinking of laying some solid IPE: Length 760mm, Width 92mm, Thickness 18mm and prefinished.
The room are 5X4 square meters and there’s a hallway 5X1 square meters.
I have lifted the carpet and there is chipboard underneath. The boards are quite uneven.
I would like to secret nail the solid wood.
Am I correct in thinking that I would need to screw down ply on the chipboard first (5.3mm) ?
And I can then secret nail the wood to the ply and there is no need to use an underlay?
Thank you in advanced
