With advancements in the moisture barriers and glues and with the curing of the timber you can and will acheive a great result, the main problem is, that in this industry there is no liecencing so just about anyone can claim they can lay floors. As a consumer always do your research and question the installer. Whilst laying ply over black plastic is common and correct it does raise the height of the flooring overall which doesn't always work with tiles or carpet. Don't always look at the price as you get what you pay for and when spending all that money on the floor don't skimp on a few bucks just for the cheapest option, cause as an installer if quoted too cheap, short cuts need to be taken. Solid timber floors add value to your home and give you many many years of wear. So in short both direct stick or ply on concrete will work if done correctly and by a qualified installer always ask how long they have been in the industry and what references they have. That's a fantastic result! Happy you got it sorted out. cheers Simeon 6 7525 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 11502 If this is a custom build then I would expect the builder to set out the door frame closer to the wall to avoid the gap between architrave and the wall and or specify… 9 6278 |
