Hi -same old story as previous questions but need clarification for my own piece of mind and project. Done loads of laminate so pretty handy at flooring (for a sparky).
I want to lay a solid wood floor onto original pine floorboards. I assume that I lay it at "90 degrees" to original floor boards.
Also the floor is level so from what I have read I should "float" it on an underlay, glue the tongues/grooves (pva?) and leave a 15mm gap around outside for expansion. What type of underlay should I use (not DPC I know to avoid sweating)?. It is downstairs so is an accousic underlay (green fibre boards) really needed?. Dont really want to have to step over it if it gets too high.
Experienced replies most welcome.
