Hello guys. Could you please advise me?
This it the gallery of my house. The wooden joists are 6x4 inches (10x16 cm). I leveled them good.
I would like to install almost 2 inch thick pine/fir wooden planks on it. I would like to minimize vibrations and squeaking on the floor so I thought I could lay 2 mm rubber on the joists (⁵/₆₄ of an inch) and lay the planks on that but not to screw them on to the joists. I would take additional 2x4 (coloured red) and connect the planks with those and everything would float on the joists. Is this a good idea or should I just screw the planks on the joists? or should I use cork rather than rubber?
I hope I am being clear, not a native English speaker.
Every advice is very useful. thank you
