    Hi lads hope you have had a gd Xmas,

    Any way I have a whole floor to do in a 45ft narrowboat I am planning altro in the kitchen and bath and then amtico everywhere else,the subfloor is 19mm ply but the joints are not good I was thinking a.. 9mm on top with feather finish or b... Some latex wood base ? I'm thinking latex but will it blow?

    Any comments would be much appreciated

    Kind regards

    Dave

    I agree with Matt, definately ply and feather, dependent on how bad the existing joints are try and make good and use 6mm ply to cross ply (less hassle when you come to any floor access panels, some have limited height movement).
