Hi all,
My flooring contractor came over recently to inspect my subfloor prior to installation of bamboo floating boards. He used a 3m metal rule to demonstrate that my subfloor is uneven in places, and indicated that he would like to use some sort of self-leveling material to even it out. I've seen this done on cement floors before, but not on particle board. The contractor said the material that he will use is different (and several times more expensive, of course) than what he would normally use on cement.
Has any ever used, or heard of a self leveling material being used on particle board subfloor? I'm sure it's all totally normal and my contractor seems very knowledgeable and professional - but I'd thought I'd run it by the wisdom of the forum before I progress!
I'm guessing that the material he will use will need to have different adhesive properties so it sticks to the wood, and that is has some flexibility so as to not crack with the natural movement of the particle board.
Please put my mind at ease
