HI.
the title is a bit vague sorry!!, just after general advice, been stewing over this for a while, i want to do it right!!
so i have a kitchen/ dining room, with island, half joists, half screed(levelled) at the exact same height as joists.
I intend to 18mm ply the lot now as a work surface temporarily, and then a good 15mm engineered floor on top where necessary, (not in cupboards).., at end of job
we have a screed that might not have fully dried?? its been weeks though, and there is a vapour barrier below that, then jablite styrene, then DPM below that, then slab at bottom..
I am hoping any more drying will go through the ply?? (we can flip the boards every few days, we won't be adding final layer for a month or 3!).
current plan is to screw (at last minuite), 18mm ply to screed and joists, then float or glue 15mm floor.
might put a vapour barrier under ply before final screw down (can silicone holes) just in case or between 18mm and floor???? i have loads left..
what about expansion gaps between ply boards?, or edges even??
so many options, i would love the help of anyone WHO HAS EXPERIENCE of this..
