Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jul 18, 2008 12:23 pm I"m renovating a room in the house due to old termite damage The floor under the carpet is chip board sheets. I would like to take it up and replace it with some tongue and groove floor boards. But the way i would like to run the floor boards is in the same direction as the floor joist.
Would i be able to put noggins in between the joists to support the floor boards or can i leave the chip board and place the flooring over the top? The pics below are the floor as it is now Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Timber floor 2Jul 18, 2008 12:27 pm Hi Zuzook,

Thanks for that i have put in the flooring section Re: Timber floor 4Jul 19, 2008 2:33 pm Whats the condition of the chipboard?? My floors were chipboard and my partner just put 12mm jarrah floorboards on top. He used glue (liquid nails??) and he also secret nailed it. My partner did hire a sander to sand the chipboard floor first before doing the floorboards. Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 11478 The most likely cause of your timber swelling (parquetry?) is either a plumbing leak or carelessly leaving water on floors after use or both. Without seeing, i am ignoring… 1 2577 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 3806 |
