The house upstairs is basically a single story setup but will be a chipboard subfloor over strip footings. I'm wondering what my flooring options might be as it is essentially the same as having the whole house on the second floor. All the display homes I've been into only carpet upstairs except for the wet areas so I'm guessing there is some reason for that. I'd like hard flooring throughout the house, carpet in the bedrooms and tiled wet areas. What will sound and feel good? What should I avoid? Can I avoid running Quad around all of my skirts? Thanks!

I'd like hard flooring throughout the house, carpet in the bedrooms and tiled wet areas. There is no reason why you can't have hard flooring as your down stairs area is not a main living space therefore the drum, as we call it, will not affect anyone while walking around. What will sound and feel good? Usually carpet...personal choice. What should I avoid? Maybe Bamboo at the moment till it gets itself sorted. Can I avoid running Quad around all of my skirts? Yes...you leave your skirting's off until the flooring is laid then the skirts go on. No Scotia Thanks! My pleasure.

That makes sense. I’m thinking I might go laminated boards in most areas then with carpet it the bedrooms and rear rumpus room. Will gluing the boards down give a better feel? Sound more solid? Or does it make no difference to floating them? Re: I work in flooring - do you have a flooring question? 653Feb 19, 2018 8:39 am Pretty sure you can't glue laminates down, only the timbers and oaks can be glued down and only if that company says they can. Upgrade your underlay....it will help a bit with the sound.

Looks like it will need re-oiling? You might want to check on that and how many times that is required. Looks hot to me!!

Re: I work in flooring - do you have a flooring question? 657Feb 19, 2018 10:22 am There is a cork, but its expensive.

Yay! Well I went with laminate floating floors throughout the main living area. How sensitive are they to water damage? I feel like I made a mistake getting them. If I wash my hands in the kitchen and a small drip gets on the floor I quickly rush to pick it up. When people say pick up spills immediately does that mean tiny drops or large amounts of liquid? My husband tells me to relax and companies wouldn’t sell laminate if they were that sensitive. Also how do I clean them? What’s the best product to use?
