19mm v 12mm T&G Oak
G'day all. As I've said in the concreting forum we decided on a wooden floor as we couldn't justify the cost of a polished slab.
Our builder is suggesting Kiln Dried Tas Oak T&G 12mm flooring over structoflor trudek. Any comments on this as I would prefer 19mm Tas Oak flooring over the trudek for the extra mass (hate springy, creaky floors).
CheersIf you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

I'm no expert, but my recent & first experience with thin T&G flooring has me firmly in the 19 - 22mm camp. By the time a T & G is milled into the board, there's not much meat left above the groove, & I think it leaves that part of the board too weak & vulnerable to movement - in my case curling up. It's a nice idea from a sustainability viewpoint, but she don't work in the real world.

One of the often unspoken benefits of an oil finish.....no resanding.

House extension - floor.
I've decided on Select Grade Tas Oak T&G 85mm x 19mm as an overlay to 20mm Trudek Flooring.
I picked it out today. Beautiful batch. No gum, no knots. all cut to the lengths I want. Kiln dried to 8 - 10%. Delivered free.
The guy recommended a wax finish called Treatex (made in germany and sold by Whittles Waxes in Oz.
Anyone used this finish before?
