    Suggestions on filling gaps between floor substrate and existing wood floor

    Can anyone suggest an adhesive or other method for retrospectively sticking down/ filling a hollow gap between an uneven screed floor and an engineered wood floor? Mostly around the edges thankfully. Anything that will completely fill the space so the UFH will permeate through and to stop the...

    Glue down engineered wood flooring on chipboard floor

    Hello there, I'm a newbie here trying to replace carpet with engineered wood flooring upstairs on a standard 3 bedroom 2014 built property. I would like to know if I could glue the floor directly to the chipboard. It's fairly even floor with some filled in holes drilled in the past to run...

    Adhesive with Sika silent layer mat

    Hi folks I'm planning to install new engineered wood flooring, and found the Sika Silent layer mat, and thought this would be good to use, as it's both an underfloor mat and the boards are still glued down. Has anyone used it and do you have any useful feedback? Also, regarding the adhesive...

    Flooring glued together, ideas how to lay new pieces?

    I have removed some fitted units in my living room and the engineered wood flooring was fitted up to the units rather than underneath them. I am now left with a gap that i need to fix. It appears that the floor has been glued together in the T&G. I'm assuming the pieces will be impossible to...

Most of the concrete is very old (do to an old extension) and a part is a couple of months old (as i made the old extension larger), but it is not that deep. There will also...

    Engineered Oak 10mm or 14mm

    I saw a parquet herringbone engineered oak floor and the supplier has it in 10mm thickness or 14mm thickness. He said either doesn't matter but thought I'd get a second opinion as he could be saying it just to make a sale. Both have a top wear layer of 3mm so is it better to get the thicker...

    Flooring versus uneven base

    Hi. We have just laid some engineered wood flooring (5g glueless) by floating it over a concrete base, with some 5mm underlay. The base was pretty terrible in terms of it being uneven, so we had a guy come and self level it in 2 lots. The floor still wasn't perfect but the guy said it should...

    Freezing Concrete floor

    What is the best insulation I can put down, onto the solid concrete floor, and float engineered wood floor on top of? I know the thicker the insulation the better, but don't want to dig it out and start again. I have worked out that I have max 12mm to play with (unless I want it to be a hobbit...
