I would say that depends on what the finished product will be. If you are going to put down some laminate wood or wood flooring, I would go with a Luann sheeting. If your doing a tiled floor the best bet would be thin-set ( a type of concrete that's has the consistency of fine wet mud ) it flows evenly across a surface and levels itself, but you have to be sure your measurements are correct, if you put down too much thin-set the end product will still be uneven.
Sub-atomic particles are even smaller particles that make make an atom
Water damage can do it.Termites can too.
The type of underlay you need will depend on the type of sub floor or floor you are putting the laminate on is made of. If the sub floor is made of concrete, you would want vapor barrier underlay. If the sub floor is made of wood a standard or premium underlay would used.
If you are building a new home, by the time you get to flooring it will be dry.
Absolutely.
Yes, they sit on top of the flooring. You may be able to pull them out from under the base, but that will be hard if they are nailed down close to the wall.
Floating an engineered wood flooring is done using an underlay between the sub floor and the new floor and then the engineered flooring is laid over the top and glued at the tongue and grooves to keep it together. if the flooring is a click joint then gluing is not required.
A subfloor is a structural layer that provides a base for finish flooring to be installed on top of it. It is typically made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) and provides a flat, level surface for the finish flooring to sit on. The subfloor helps support the weight of the flooring, distributes loads, and helps with insulation and soundproofing.
Sub-flooring and roof sheathing are typically installed using plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). These materials provide structural support and a flat surface for flooring and roofing systems. Fasteners such as nails or screws are used to secure the sheets to the underlying joists or rafters, ensuring stability and durability.
Generally speaking, the thickness of the plywood layed directly over floor joist.
It will dry just fine... after you remove the flooring...
The thickness is mainly for refinishing. Thicker wood can be refinished more times than thinner. If you are laying on a cement slab, you want to use a vapor barrier. Some flooring products have a barrier preinstalled on the undersideof the flooring.
