Timber flooring

Floors can be laid over concrete, chipboard, particleboard, plywood, timber joists or battens, underlay, existing flooring. Secured by either secret nailing (no visible nail holes) or face/top nailing (nails straight through the board). Top nailing is a more robust fixing method than floors secretly fixed and must be used for timber boards 130mm or wider. If you are constructing a new house or are undergoing renovations your timber floor should not be installed until other construction activities (particularly wet trades) are complete.
