It is also moisture-resistant, making it suitable for use in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. 22mm thickness is designed to be used for joist centres above 400mm. For anything below this, 18mm can be used. When using chipboard flooring on solid floors, either thickness can be used.

What is 22mm Chipboard flooring used for?

A very common use for these boards is as a 22mm loft floor board. However as the 22mm chipboard is very versatile and resistant to moisture, they are suitable for all areas of a house including kitchens and bathrooms. 22mm thickness is designed to be used for joist centres above 400mm. For any spacings below 400mm, 18mm may be used.

How do I install Chipboard Flooring?

This will ensure a good installation and a long-lasting flooring. 

Subfloor:

In order to achieve a good installation, the subfloor must be level and smooth.

Moisture levels:

Before the flooring is installed, it is imperative that the subfloor is dry.

Once care has been taken in the preparation as detailed above, the chipboard flooring are then laid the opposite way to the floor joists and then slotted together using the tongue and grooved joints. The sheets of chipboard are then screwed on nailed to the joists below.

The boards can also be laid as a 'floating floor' on a concrete/screed base or on top of the floor insulation layer. Simply glue the joints using a suitable adhesive and slot together. D4 adhesive is the best type of glue to use when fixing these boards.

Any stubborn boards can be knocked together using a rubber mallet.
