tongue and bloody groove

[jime17]

hi all,

got tongue and groove floorboards upstairs which the plumbers made a real mess of when installing my heating.

Anyway, Ive got the carpet coming soon (felt backed with underlay seperate) and I dont want any of these gaps etc ruining the appearance.

the underlay is of a half decent quility. At what size will gaps generally make themselves shown through the carpet?

Try filling the gaps with papier-mache

Hardboard ?

It would be more the height differences between the floorboards that will show up through and damage in the longrun your carpet.
