hello,
I wish to install a solid oak panel floor. I can nail this on to an existing wooden floor, however, there is also an adjoining concrete floor that is on the same level.
Q. Is it possible to lay this timber without having to use a floating floor, otherwise there will be a 40mm step from the dining room to the kitchen?
What are my current options?
Yes it's possible to install the floor the way you described. If I understand correctly, you will not lay the floor also on the concrete part.
When installing a floor (nailing, glueing or floating) your underfloor type has to be of one sort. If you have two or more sorts (like existing floorboards and part concrete) it's best to install harboard first to create one type of underfloor to prevent difference in (moist) reactions of the floor.
