Replacing floorboards with boards

Question

Is it OK to replace floorboards with chipboard? I think they'll be easier to lay but is there any reason I shouldn't do this?

Roman · Answer

No should be absolutely fine. Mdf 18mm should do the job easily

Jason · Answer

Chip board is fine if it's the same thickness and doesn't get wet as chip board is no good when wet

Depending on where it is going there shouldn't be, and Depending on the spacings of the timbers it's going on will depend on your thickness

Hi Kamil

As long as they are the same thickness but you must remember that if you carpet over chipboard your floor levels in different rooms / doorways would be different ? Just something to bare in mind .

Yes definitely  chipboard is a good replacement especially if the joists have been notched for pipes, you can generally get a good fixing and stop any speaking 26mm boards are ready strong especially with d4 glue

Leigh · Answer

In my opinion no, its just that if you lay t and g boards it would be hard to take up if someone needs to get to a certain  area to repair a pipe or something
