    Please can someone help me out with a question ive had this morning ? I've had a call this morning regarding a sanding job the customer has has some Bausen 18 x 190mm engineered oak flooring laid as a structual floor nailed but they now dont like the finish and want a Matt finish.

    my question is, as it is only 18mm thick once ive sanded it is it still classed as a structual or when does it become non- structual.

    cheers

    I thought anything under 20mm thick wasnt to be used as structural

    depends on joist spacing.

    personally i'd NEVER use anything less than a 20mm or 21mm board for going straight to joist or anything structural... belt 'n braces no Q's & no comebacks... again personally - would try to dissuade them against taking back an 18mm product & re-finishing... good luck matey :cool:
