How do I fix Chipboard Flooring?

• Install the flooring in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations: This will ensure a good installation and a long-lasting flooring.

• Subfloor: The subfloor must be level and smooth in order to ensure a good installation.

• Moisture levels: The subfloor must be dry before the flooring is installed.

Once the above have been taken in to account, the chipboard flooring are then laid the opposite way to the floor joists and then slotted together using the tongue and grooved joints. The sheets of chipboard are then screwed on nailed to the joists below.

The boards can also be laid as a 'floating floor' on a concrete/screed base or on top of the floor insulation layer. Simply glue the joints using a suitable adhesive and slot together.
