rygel dominar Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hi guys some advise from what I have read a plywood subfloor/overboard over my floorboards what is it even a subfloor or overboard as my floorboards are my subfloor? They all say online it should be either nailed or screwed down @ 150mm intervals. Okay, so why 150mm intervals I assume that it's this distance because it offers the best security? Also I assume you would remove the skirting board to allow for the 10mm expansion gaps. Please look at the photos this is my current plywood subfloor? Any advise is appreciated thanks.

Jilly Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Sorry Rygel, it's not clear what your problem is. What are you trying to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The ply is nailed at 150 simple to stop it moving For tiling or simply to tidy up split floorboards If the later it will be very thin and can run right up to the skirtings If for tiling Skirtings need taking off before tile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lower the risk of misunderstanding, the one thing you will not get here, is proper expert advice. Some of the contributors here are indeed expert , for example @Nickfromwales, @nod and others, but none of us - expert or otherwise - can actually see the bit of work you have in hand. Your job might need more than the recommended nail spacing because of factors we can't see. Or less, perhaps. It would appear from your other posts elsewhere that there is another agenda here: one in which we simply can't involve ourselves. May I suggest you ask a properly qualified tradesperson? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 The mention of "Landlord" suggests a rental? If so, raise these concerns with the property owner and allow the installer and the person who paid for the work to be do ne to discuss this between themselves would be the 'correct' path here. As far as the reasons for boarding, if this is a high / multiple occupancy building / flats over flats etc, then the boarding would ( could ) be a fire / smoke barrier and therefore it's installation would ( should then ) have been overseen / inspected by a BCO for correct execution and integrity. As for nails left sticking out to the point they are damaging the LVT flooring, that is just shite workmanship. If you're renting this is not really a matter for forum-folk, more for you to take up independently with the person you pay the rent to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was down before? Sub-floor quality requirement is driven by floor covering type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
