andyman said:6mm ply thick enough?
floor height not to much of an issue as new skirting boards being fitted
andyman said:They are 20mm boards with a 6mm oak,I may have to go between joists if using ply that thick as would be 32mm thick O/A
do you mean between the joists otherwise that would be 38mm on top of the joistsDeansocial said:18mm ply on joists then stick to that. Carpet and under lay is 18mm so yo gonna gain 2mm over a regular carpet height

andyman said:Original floor 20mm thick meeting up to carpet on the landing approx 14mm thick.
I had a good deal on the floor 189mm boards x 17m2 in smoked oak plus another 9m2 of golden colour oak same thickness and width for 450 inc vat

Well if it was me I would use 18mm ply and then create A chamfered threshold in the doorways to lower the floor height transition between oak flooring and carpet.
Or
I would stick 18mm in between the joists
Depending on job and client which route I would go

the clients are my wife and son lol.
I'll have a look in the morning to see what the oa thickness will be
Possible change of plan the existing 5" floorboards that are still down, I checked earlier and the engineered board fits most of the way under the door as it is so would only need to trim about 5-6mm of door if I lay on top of the existing floor.jmbfestool said:andyman said:Original floor 20mm thick meeting up to carpet on the landing approx 14mm thick.

Only problem I can see is that I want to lay the boards the same way as the existing due to the light coming through the window, can you see any issues with this solution?
