Hi - i am laminating my garage which i've sectioned off, insulated and boarded to make a 'games room'.
Done most of it and the result is good. the sub-floor was concrete but more or less flat, and my 5mm techni-board underlay has absorbed all bumps. That was like 15sq meters of it.
Now approaching the final end (final 2 sq meters), the floor (last 60-80cm from final wall) is dipping -which I never picked up on.
for final few planks i needed to wedge an extra layer (even an extra 2 palm size pieces) of underlays to even get the laminate to click. However I was untidy with my 'wedging' and caused a bulge. so I removed those problematic planks. (only 3-4 planks).
Now with my spirit level and playing about - I just want to work out exactly where my double underlay would start and end.
My question is - is this ok just to finish the final 2sq meters? Using 2 x 5mm techni-board (which do tend to compress and absorb uneveness quite well )
I guess what I am suggested is not recommended at all - but for a DIY job for a make shift room this is going so so well and I'd rather just finish it using the method I mentioned - or any other suggestion.
So even if it not conventional way to finish my job, any tips are recommended.
materials I have to hand are - about 3 sq meters worth of techni-board. and 12mm laminate.
I don't mind going to buy something, but this literally is the final couple of planks.
