Hi all,
I'm having strandwoven bamboo floating boards installed shortly and I have a question about the quality of my particle board subflooring. I recently removed the ceramic floor tiles (which was possibly the most back breaking task I've ever performed) where the bamboo is to be laid - unfortunately there was no backer board, the tiles were glued down directly onto the particle board. I have subsequently scraped off most of the glue (it's black, not sure what kind of glue it is) and the surface of the subfloor is pretty flat. However where the remnants of the glue remains, the floor is perhaps 0.5mm raised in patches. I've got no idea how I can flatten these patches out as this is as good as I can get it with a scraper.
Does anyone know if this slight unevenness is likely to cause a problem with the floating board installation?? The underlay will be 3mm thick, which I would have thought would absorb any slight unevenness in the floor surface???
Any help will be much appreciated!!
