engineered floorboards

So I have these click engineered boards that are 2200mm x 180mm, and 14mm thick. I’m laying them on a chipboard subfloor on joists on the 1st floor. The chipboard is sound and mostly flat. The company i bought the boards from recommended 3mm rubber crumb underlay with a silver vapour barrier...

I need to lay engineered board on top of concrete which is over old foundations. It's a strip about 500mm wide, then a step to one side and the original timber flooring on the other. The majority of it is very old concrete, some more recent where a wall was recently demolished and levelled...

Hi I about to install engineered timber flooring and was wondering what happens at a step edge that we have which intersects the space in terms of expension. The flooring laid up to the edge will be about 3.5m wide and the edge is about 5m long. The flooring down the step will be tile. I was...

I got some really nice oak engineered wooden floorboards for one of the rooms in my new place, and then noticed they are bowed (or whatever it's called: when lying flat, the centre of the plank is higher than the ends) The floor underneath is concrete. I tried to install a few planks, weighing...

Hi, We have a large village hall that we've installed UF heating in - wet system, covered in 75mm concrete screed. We don't have the sufficient drying time so looking to put down a liquid DPM ahead of an engineered timber floor (all flooring, underlay etc is UF heating- compatible). We'd been...

Hi All I am trying to get to grips with the details of installation of the floors on the rebuild of the first floor of our house. All of the old floor covering has been removed and we are fixing and replacing joists as required. The joists are spaced at 400mm centres. The intention is to fit...

Hi All We are refurbishing a house at the moment and are fitting UFH between the joists upstairs. The finished floor will be engineered wood which I can get at 20/6mm and am currently planning on laying directly onto the joists and screwing down. Given the thickness of the boards I see no...

Hi all, I'm fitting out a new extension that has a room-in-the-roof. The better half has suggested a wood-block floor and that got me thinking about laying engineered oak (T&G) straight on to the joists. I believe this would require using 20mm thick planks but I'm wondering if it's a...
