Afternoon guys. Silly question but here goes - Can you use lining paper instead of brown paper (paper felt) for laying on floorboards prior to laying carpet? Reason for asking is that the proper stuff is a tad expensive, and the lining paper is a fraction of the price. The lining paper gauge I was proposing to use is 2000g, Thanks lads.
Can't see why not, they use to use newspaper years ago to prevent heat loss. Diall Carpet Lining Paper 20mtr roll (20m2) is about £4 a roll in B&Q.
Hi Kiab - tried B and Q for that Diall Carpet Paper and not one of the branches has any stock left. and from what I can gather they will not be stocking it anymore. I will use the lining paper - the reason for using is that it stops dust coming through the floorboard gaps which stains the carpet around the edges after a period of time. Thanks Mr K
Used to be newspaper, half the fun of lifting old floors was reading the news, adverts and prices from 30 years ago!
