Hi all
Will be laying 120mm 18mm solid oak soon (around 40sqm) in the lounge and hallway. I know some would not buy these cheaper types, but budget only allows for this. 300 - 1200 RL.
1. Currently I have floorboards and 2 patches of concrete (one where the old chimney stack was and one where the old heard was). The floorboards currently run from the front of the house to the back which is the same direction I want the solid oak to run - will this be a problem???
2. I have purchased fibre boards for underlay as I thought it would take out some of the slight imperfections- is this the best ??
3. Also can I use a tacwise 500el to secret nail them - will it be good enough ??
4. I wont be able to nail on the concrete part, so how should I tackle this?
5. Between the rooms we have 3 radiators, how do you get around the pipework?
6. How long should I let it accumalitise?
Sorry for the list of questions, but I want to fit it right
Thanks
