TIMBER QUEENSLAND LIMITED TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 18 TIMBER FLOORS recommended installation Revised March 2014 Page 1This information SHEET outlines the recommended practices for laying TIMBER strip floors over TIMBER and engineered TIMBER joists (it does not include steel joists), structural sub-floors such as plywood, particleboard and over concrete, but does not include direct adhesive fix to slabs. When laying a TIMBER strip floor over joists, either directly on the joists or on SHEET flooring fixed to joists, adequate sub- floor ventilation is essential for the satisfactory performance of the floor . Sub- floor ventilation recommendations are therefore included in this data SHEET . SUB- floor VENTILATIONWhen the lower surface of TIMBER floors or structural sub-floors (over which a TIMBER floor is laid) are exposed to the ground and the space is enclosed (by brickwork etc.), the sub- floor space must be adequately ventilated with permanent vents installed in the masonry during construction.
