Hi All,
I have read many threads but would like some advice specific to me if possible.
I have a converted Victorian flat in London, The lower Ground Level has a concrete slab, with a DPM approx age 30 years.
We do not know the thickness of the slab and so want to avoid fixing into the slab.
Ideally we would like to lay a wooden floor (reclaimed pine or hardwood).
We have 50mm max in total to play with.
I figure from research, that I should insulate, and float a subfloor then fix to this.
Problems are, I only have 12mm left after flooring and subfloor for insulation. Is it worth using this it this thin?
Are subfloor materials such as chipboard or OSB strong enough to nail the flooring down ?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Xav
