Laying down new subfloor
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2016 9:57 pm
Hey all,
I'm planning some major remodeling this coming summer and spending the coming months getting my logistics together. I have a early '70's double wide that's it pretty decent shape. The sub floor is particle board and although it isn't rotten, the age of it is making it flexible, not bad, but enough to notice. I was thinking of laying down 3/4 inch or 1inch new sub floor on top of it rather than ripping it out. Planning on screwing it all down. Any issues with that? will is be to heavy?
I'm planning on totally ripping out kitchen, and all of the dining and front room carpets, extending out the 2nd bedroom out into the living room about 5 feet and then spitting it into two bedrooms so the kiddos can have there own space. So when I rip everything out, I want to put down new subfloor and lay down high quality wood grain linoleum and build up from there.
Thanks!
