Question for Steve Cox - Hardwood Flooring

[Classic Finn]

Steve Good Evening...This is what I,ll be installing even though we,ll have a mattress...

Question is that - On the hardwood flooring did you install it after you had the walls up or before?

Is it a Laminate or Genuine Hardwood ?

Also to anyone else that may be interested here is the English Website of Karelia Hardwood Flooring and its different Products...

Hello Heikki,

I used a real oak wood parquet that comes in 12" squares. It was the cheap stuff though. I waited until after I had done everything else inside the teardrop before putting down the floor, that way I didn't drip anything on the parquet. My floors are 1/2" plywood and the parquet is about 3/8" thick. I used construction adhesive to stick it down. Karelia has some beautiful flooring. I think your part of the world is where parquet floors originated.

Heikki,

I also put the laminate flooring in at the end, like Steve. Only without glue. You can install a full sheet of the thin foam type underlayment & then just 'float' the laminate flooring. Or install a full sheet of 1" to 2" extruded polystyrene insulation & float the floor. No thermal breaks under your bed that way.
