Hello,
I am in the process of obtaining quotations for 35sq metres of solid Merbau hardwood flooring (not engineered) to be installed in the open-plan lounger/diner of my 200 year old house in the south of England. The existing floor is carpet over concrete and I am limited as to how high I can raise the sub-floor (thresholds, fire hearths etc).
As such, the method proposed by one company, who have visited the property (Craftsman Timber Floors Ltd -
Has anyone heard of this product/method and if so, is it a sound way to approach the installation of a solid hardwood floor. Having read previous posts, I understand that nailing to a plywood sub-floor is the preferred method, but times change and new products are introduced, so maybe this is now acceptable?
Any feedback would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Tom
