Hi,
=20
Some time ago we had vinyl flooring laid through our hallway.
=20
It was recommended to us by the flooring contractor that we should have=
=20
hardboard laid first over the floorboards before the vinyl was glued=20
down on to it.
They were going to charge roughly =A3100 to do that, so we thought we'd d=
o=20
it ourselves.
The sheets we laid were about 4 foot by 3 foot, so there were a few=20
joints, although they were flush with each other with no visible 'steps'=
=20
between boards.
=20
However since then very slight 'creasing' has appeared where the=20
hardboard joints are. It's hardly noticeable except in certain lighting=
=20
conditions.
=20
Anyway, we're now thinking of having the conservatory and kitchen/diner=
=20
floor covered in vinyl in the same way, and I was wondering if there is=
=20
a knack to laying the hardboard sheets so that the joints don't=20
eventually appear (even using larger sheets this time there'd still be a=
=20
few joints).
=20
Also the conservatory floor is concrete, so how would I go about fixing=
=20
hardboard to this?
=20
You don't need hardboard on concrete, just some self-levelling compound=20
