Hi folks, We're renovating our 1930s semi and as part of that installing wet UFH. We've already done it in part of the house that's a 1980s extension and used the metal joist spreader plates, this works well. Unfortunately, in the 1930s part of the house the joists aren't the current standard of width apart so I can't install spreader plates. Wunda support (who have been fantastic thus far) suggested two options: Batten perpendicular to the joists to the correct width. Install chipboard directly onto the joists then stick Wundatherm panels over the top. Both options we lose 20mm off the floor. A builder suggested doing a thin concrete screed, but that's out of my skillset. The benefits of option 2 are not having to install insulation between the joists and not having to faff with battening. Just replace the original timber floor with 22m chipboard and glue it down. Has anyone done something similar? How did you find it? We were at the flooring supplier yesterday (looking at QuickStep engineered wood) and they said you need to make sure the floor is super flat else it will be squeaky and the boards may separate over time. Anyone experienced that? -
This week I am helping a mate lay a floor over about 55sqm. He wants to use a Quickstep Uniclic Oak. Versions are available from Howdens or B&Q, the latter at a little under £20 per sqm. Two questions. 1 - Has anyone used the Howdens Quickstep Laminate products. Ie one of these. It is a genuine Quickstep product. https://www.howdens.com/flooring/laminate?atr_flooring_locking_system_sm=Uniclic How was the price and performance? 2 - Can I use my Howden’s account at a different branch on the same day? I know I will probably have to set up a local account. Cheers Ferdinand -
I just received 'Livyn' Vinyl Tile samples from Quickstep Uniclic. They seem *really* tough. 4.5mm vinyl with uniclic joints. Look to be a good option if you need a thin but hardwearing floor. Prices are just a bit large, mind - from about £30+ per sqm. Left to right: Chestnut, Slate, Travertine. The laminate uniclic can be relaid a couple of times without undue damage. This should be reusable more times. Worth a look, Ferdinand
