I went to look at a solid wood job for a living room and hall. The living room (approx.13m2) is wood floorboards and the hall (approx. 5m2) is tiled. Tramex reading on tiles is 3.5 and although I thought the house was 1970's I have been since told it's 1930's. I have not used Tremco products before and was looking for a heads up for putting their dpm down on the tiles, using adhesive to fix down the 9mm ply in the hall (with screw fixings in the living room) and then their adhesive to glue down the flooring. Your thoughts please.
Are the tiles on wood? i know you took a T reading so i presume the sub is concrete.If so i would not put a DPM on top to many things to go wrong.Tiles or adhesive if old probably contain some asbestos? This will have to be dealt with appropriately & responsilbly.An easy get out is use Elastilon on a plastic 1000gauge in the hall T bar in the door then fit the living room as you've discussed ,i like to nail & stick solid on a wood subfloor .Tremco MS is pretty much the same as the others i 'm not sure of the cost thou.
Tony should have said the tiles are terracotta tiles on to concrete. I really prefer to run the flooring through the two rooms and therefore prefer to have one sub floor - hence the ply.
