distending nails. Spread the floor region with either a 4mm or 6mm
pressed wood - the thickness chose ought to be controlled by the
nature of the surface being secured. Employ should be of reasonable

shank or ring shank nails, serrated or disparate staples. All fixings
ought to be countersunk and completed flush with the surface. Boards
ought to be acclimatized to the site conditions before fixing as
suggested by the provider. Sand down any high spots. We prescribe the
utilization of a fitting smoothing compound, for example, Ardex
Feather Finish to level out dejections and fill holes between sheets.
In the event that your wooden subfloor is especially uneven, apply a
layer of self-leveling underlayment before the Feather Finish.
Chipboard might be
utilized rather than employ if there is no development among sheets
and additional consideration is taken in smoothing the surface.

floorcoverings. On the off chance that this is illogical, in any

it's not too much trouble remember that on the off chance that you
are laying on new solid it can take as long as a half year to dry out
totally. If all else fails, counsel your developer. Don't lay over
development joints.
We suggest you at that point utilize a decent quality latex
self-leveling compound, and a last skim of Ardex Feather Finish to

warming, as long as the temperature of the subfloor doesn't surpass
27°C. Check with your underfloor warming producer for the prescribed
