As part of a loft conversion I decided to add Pine Floor Boards (169x20). These were just clear pine boards that cost £2.36 per metre (approx £14 sq m).
The floor already had a kind of cork tongue and groove slab type of floor and the floorboards were laid directly ontop.
Because of my concern with gaps the pine floorboards are floating - just being held down by the skirting - idea was to even out gaps once shrunk.
Some started warping straight away (were only in house for 4 days before laying) and many others have followed. It's only been 3 weeks and one floorboard has split and quite a few have warped quite badly e.g. they rock when walked on.
Any advice on what I could do to rectify issue would be most welcome
