Evening,
Pretty sure folks are going to enjoy telling me that this situation is a hopeless disaster, but here goes......
The 50m2 of engineered wood floor we recently laid to float on 5mm foam underlay is bouncy in places: clearly, the underlying substrate is not perfectly flat. Is the best (only?) solution to take it up and glue it down?
It moves by a few mm, but feels like more - what sort of variation will floor adhesive accommodate?
Can we glue onto the underlay (itself glued down)? Or must it too come up?
Got all sorts of other ideas (self-levelling in key areas, additional underlay, expanding foam), but figured that glue is the best option......
Finally, before i get completely ripped to pieces, this was done in a race to get a finance-stage released, without which all would have been over.
