  • Flooring- I'm refubing my house in mid April. Part of this involves new flooring throughout. I've been looking at new ply subfloor + screed with engineered wood over the top. Area of 115sqm to cover, so cost is not small. Do I have any other alternatives that will offer a solid surface? Existing boards are not in good condition , so are not good for much

  • Thicker ply and no screed? I've not heard of screed over ply before (edit: of course this is a comment about my understanding rather than about the technical requirements for engineered flooring).

    Tile backing board instead of ply for areas that you are tiling (if any).

  • Doubt you need screed over ply for using engineered floor finish. With things like forbo or rubber or sheet vinyl I believe the installation deets say you do need screed. Personal experience suggests you do as in my bathroom with forbo over ply you can see the seam in the ply under the forbo. I just try not to look.

  • That lot work weight an absolute ton. Make sure the joists can handle it.
