Hi Many apologies if this topic has been broached before. I did a search but still feel I need more input
I have two very large interconnecting rooms just under 50m square in total. The concrete floor put down in the 1950's was a bit uneven and sloping also.
There has been a chipboard floor installed, partly floating on polystyrene, and partly on joists to try and even it out, also one corner will have to go directly on the concrete.
I have purchased a book on installing wooden floor boards but still feel I have too much conflicting input on the best method of fixing. What are the general feelings on which way I should go. I know this is probably a complicated issue but any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the plastering was completed last autumn, the painting was done a month ago, and the flooring has been in the room for several weeks. There is no central heating at present, but this will probably be installed at some time in the future.
Many thanks for any input.
Susan
PS - I shall not be doing the work myself
