Older Homes and Timber Floors
Many older houses in Observatory have suspended timber floors. Laminate can go over sound timber boards, but loose or creaking boards must be fixed first and uneven boards levelled, sometimes with sheets of board. Rot or damp under the floor is repaired first, and air bricks must stay clear for ventilation.
Rentals and Student Housing
Observatory has many rental properties. Landlords often choose an AC4 product with a textured surface, and keep spare boards so damaged boards can be replaced between tenants.
