Thanks for a great forum. I've had a look around here but don't think I've yet found a conclusive view on the best approach to take in my situation, so some guidance is greatly appreciated!
I have some 130mm x 18mm solid oak flooring that I want to lay on existing floorboards in my living room which is 4m x 3.8m.
The existing floorboards are pretty even so I'd really like to avoid laying plywood over them.
A couple of questions:
1. Is it ok to float the oak flooring or will I need to secret nail it?
2. Should I use an underlay or just go wood on wood?
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers, adam.
