Repair laundry floor - screw size, board type, noggin length?
I’m replacing a damaged section of 60 year old tassie oak floor in my laundry. I have cut the boards flush with the joist and plan to sister (glue & screw) some 90 x 45mm treated pine along the existing 100x 45mm joist to take the edges of the new boards.
Query 1: Will 8-10 75mm treated pine screws be sufficient to hold the pine - or should I use heavier screws?
Query 2: which flooring option? I have the choice of yellow tongue or solid old tassie oak floorboards for the repair. Will be covered by fiber cement tile underlay. (It’s an old ‘knock down’ so doesn’t need to be perfect.)
Query 3: I’ll add a noggin/block to pick up the ends of the other two removed boards. Planning to use a 400mm length - which will extend a board on each side of the gap. Too much/ not enough length?
Here is the pic of the main hole - 460mm wide and 1400mm long (and the other two boards).
