Just managed to bag a bargain from betco , they had on ebay a 3/4 month old cn45 coil nailer just used for demos for £160 inc vat, turned up today and it like new ! my question is I have a 50 sq m lvt to do next week, my question is , do you lads feather,wood screed or nothing ? I am using Mapei ecolvt ht adhesive . I dont do a lot of lvt but have always used staples, but squeaking is annoying !
Depending on the floor I usually just feather the joints, I go round it twice. I used to renovate screed some but don't bother much at all now instead I'll use 9mm.
Seams only is fine with a coil nailer along as there counter sunk and your happy the ply has gave a smooth finish to the subfloor I wouldn't bother with the eco fix get your self some ke66
Bit late now.have the glue already , one of the reps popped by today had the uzin ke66 also there new fibre screed and feather all on offer .....unfortunately all to late for this one Fibre screed 12.99 plus vat a bag
Is that the feather, have always used added before . Wilth the nails do you have it set so there just benaeth the surface , also.do they go down clean without splintering the ply, I'm using fg1 ply
Yes it's there feather Some times get the odd splinter if you nail to close to the edge but nails generally go in very smooth and neat Usually around 8bar on your compressor is about right to counter sink
Cheers guys this is good.news I honestly thought the nail heads would show , and to be fair I'm surprised they wouldn't, it is a dark wood strip as well that I'm laying
I only use 19mm ring nails,4" centres, 6mm ply and feather finish all joints. Guy I worked with used a nailer once, few weeks later he was plagued by squeaks.
