I recently put down hardwood on the first floor. After removing the carpet, I used 1 1/2 boxes of 2 inch floor screws (each box has 500 screws). Screws were about 3-5 cm apart! Like Sledgehammer says, lots of them. Now the floor is super tight, no squeaks anywhere.
If you have a floor down already, and the squeaks are on the first floor, if you have access to the joists from the basement, then like bikerguy says, shim and glue the areas that squeak. Have someone upstairs walking around to locate the squeaks. |

It is a floor made from some kind of heavy duty "plastic tiles" (for lack of a better word as I don't know what this material is called) it is however very impressive and does look like tiles if you don't look closely....
I had to replace a piece of subfloor and am now ready to cut and lay my plywood before laying vinyl tiles. My question is this: does the subfloor have to be leveled and filled or can I just lay my 1/4 plywood down and fill over nail holes then apply my vinyl tiles. Here's what I've got so far...
Is it OK to install vinyl flooring directly on top of a cement slab.
