I am about to lay floorboards to a recent extension and need to match them (height wise) to the existing boards.
The old boards are sitting on a concrete floor, but due to current building regs the new boards need to sit on battens on the new concrete floor with insulation between them.
I have a question with regards to the laying of battens. Do they simply sit on the new concrete floor ready to take the floor boards? Or should they be fixed to the concrete prior to installation of the boards. If the concrete isn't perfectly flat then how should I compensate for changes in level (plane the battens accordingly or bed the battens onto something and then level?
The battens will be approx 2 inches deep with a 3/4 inch board on top.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
