And here's the legal bit I have to state: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
I purchased the engineered oak flooring from the same company I used a few years ago for my bathroom floor on a recommendation - JFJ Wood Flooring, from their Supreme Oak Flooring Range 21mm thick.
I decided to use the same method of fixing down the floorboards, using Tongue Tite 3.5 x 45mm screws, except this time I also glued the floorboards down, as my floor joists have a decent amount of spring in them, and I wanted to try and prevent the floor from working loose/ creaking over time.
