Planning to cover a screeded floor with 8x2 t+g chipboard sheets. Question is, should I bond the board to the concrete, and if so what with? If I don't bond it I'm a bit worried about having bouncy bits in the middle if the screed isn't perfectly flat, or if the wood expands after laying. On the other hand, if I glue it and the wood tries to expand am I in trouble? I was thinking about just spreading a load of pva on the floor and laying the sheets on that, is that a good or bad idea? Perhaps a more flexible bond would be better allowing the boards a little bit of movement. (The screed was layed last year with dpc and insulation, no likelihood of damp problems). Thanks for any advice.
