Underfloor insulation and Floor boards


Today we started nailing in the floor boards. But first we had to cover the whole house with the thermal silver paper to keep the warmness inside the house when its built.


After that we got started on the floor. We set up string lines from one end of the house to the other (length) to show us where we cut threw the underfloor silver paper for the glue to stick to the floor boards.


we then took the string lines down and started on the floor. At first we had someone gluing each hole and two other people would lay down the boards. Once it was laid down we had to give it a whack where it needed to be tight and flash.
Our flooring sheets were all staggered as per normal installation meaning the first row started with a full sheet and then the next started with half a sheet. During this exercise i learnt completely how to put floor boards down as id never done it before.
