I had the entire floor on the ground floor renewed.
That means in our house built in 1922, the top floor layers were removed, including the wooden planks and the potash layer. Only the wooden beams and the thin ceiling construction of the basement remained visible.
Then, leveling battens were attached to the sides of the wooden beams, mineral wool was installed in the gaps, followed by a vapor barrier film on top, and finally a single layer of 25 mm (1 inch) OSB boards.
For the floor covering, we chose linoleum, and we also added a separate impact sound insulation layer.
Now I am annoyed by the spots at the tongue and groove "T-junctions" that are not supported by the beams (joists spaced 50 cm (20 inches) apart).
In a conversation with a self-proclaimed old building renovation expert, I was told that everything was installed unprofessionally.
He said there is a DIN standard that requires cross battens to be installed as well.
Now my question is:
Is there such a standard or recommendation?
I am not satisfied with the floor because I expected to have a firm, stable floor with this renovation….
