Hi,

We would like to lay some real wood click fit boards over our existing
suspended wooded floor. The existing floorboards are relatively flat.
In the instructions it says lay 6mm plywood on top of the existing
floorboards. It also mentions laying a DPM.
Does anyone know if we actually need to lay the plywood or the DPM.
There's no damp in the existing wooden floor, so I can't see why we
need a DPM. I was inteding to just lay fibreboard (for heat & sound
insulation) on top of the existing floor and then the new real wood
boards on top of this as a floating floor.

Any replies greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Simon

That is solid oak but it isn't what I would call click fix.

It's tongue and groove and if you want to lay is as a floating floor (as you
would for laminate etc) then you need some special clips - not idea how they
work but I saw the boxes in wickes the other day

If you lay it as a floating floor then I'd have thought the fibreboard
underlay that they do would have been fine *if your floorboards are level*.

We ended up going for cheap'n'cheerful laminate. I know it's not real wood
but I've been so impressed with the cheap stuff we slapped down in the living
room 4 years ago that I accepted SWMBOs instructions without complaint this
time.

Yes, it's plastic but as a kid proof cheap floor it's been brilliant
