Chip board T&G loft flooring

[Bob Williams]

Anyone know where I can get chipboard T&G loft flooring in

2440 x 610 x 18mm (8ft x 2ft) size, in Sussex? Preferably a firm who'll deliver, as I want 26 sheets.

Thanks

Jewsons is usually a reasonable bet and open to price discussion.

If this is for a loft, do you have good access to move the sheets around? They are heavy and can be awkward to manipulate.

If it's for a normal room rather than an attic use proper floorboards instead. Chipboard creaks something rotten when you walk on it!

Covers have depots all along the south coast,as have Travis Perkins use 22mm sheets and glue and screw then you will not get creaks.

And badly fixed floorboards don't squeak?

We have to assume that members of this NG will do a *proper* job!

IMHO, chipboard's alright for this sort of job if you'll never need to lift it and glue the T&G together. At least it shouldn't shrink - unlike most floorboards I've ever fitted. ;-) And this might be more of an advantage in a loft where there's no floor covering normally.

The problem is that - with normal joist spacing - chipboard (even 18mm flooring grade) bends when you walk on it. Floorboards don't - to anything like the same extent.
