Flooring for Mezzanine


Visti

Recommended Posts

We're putting in a mezzanine with 6x2' beams (planed square edged) and looking to do the flooring as easily as possible. 

 

Any suggestions where I only have to install one later of board for a decent combined structural and finish floor?

 

Or is T&G chipboard the most cost effective way to go, but with what on top?

I did mine with good quality plywood and then just sanded and varnished it.

That is not a bad shout at all. I think I'll go with that. Mind some clarifications?

 - what grade and thickness of plywood did you use?

- How'd you fix it to the beams?

@Visti, I can't remember, did MBC use Egger Protect T&G for your first-floor floor as they usually do? Would that be a sufficient finish?

They did yes, but I'm not convinced on that as a finished floor, and I really don't want to have to double up. Plus they are not the most cost effective solution!

Mine is only 12mm thick.  That's because I was trying to make the floor make up as thin as possible so have possibly under sized joists but lots of them, about 300mm apart, and wanted a thin floor as well.

 

I just went to the BM and looked at all they had and chose the one that had a nice finish to the surface that I thought would sand and varnish okay.

 

Fixed down with countersunk screws, as In I drilled a hole and countersunk the top with a counterskink bit before fitting the screw.
