We stripped our living room floors back to the original pine boards. Not our finest idea as they're a bit flimsy and bloody noisy but when we moved in the carpet was monstrous and we couldn't be bothered with a new carpet. Is there a way to make it less noisy? I.e. if we put a layer of foam or something on top and covered it with Karndean? Obviously not expecting to get a similar sound foot print to the solid floor in the kitchen but just when our son bashes the floor with his wooden toys it shakes the whole house.
It'll need to cover the entire floor. He also climbs up on the coffee table and hammers that louder than I knew possible. Not always I hasten to add. Usually he's a quiet little beaut but one year old's gonna one year old.
Just pondering:
