Hi All
We are building a house direct labour and have been given lots of different advice on how long to wait before putting down our wooden floors after the concrete has poured. We poured 4 inches on the 01/10/07. And were told we had to wait and month for each inch poured.
Basically we are putting down solid wood floors in the upstairs bedrooms (ontop of ply), and downstairs in the living room and study (ontop of batons). The concrete floors in hall, kitchen and living room have been tiled a month ago. The heating has been on for the past 2 weeks, so how do we check if its safe to bring in the solid oak?? Can you buy a moisture tester in a local hardware store???
We have a chippy lined up to put the floors down the 2nd week of Dec, but need to have the wood there 3 weeks before.
Thanks for your comments
