Floor chipboard splice on joist?

[-JC-]

Is it necessary to join floor chipboard so that the joints fall on a joist? After all, the chipboard is glued, and a glue joint with white glue between two pieces of wood becomes stronger than the surrounding wood. Or is it difficult to achieve such a good glue joint in joined floor chipboards?

The joints do not need to be on a stud.

But there shouldn't be joints between the same studs two times in a row.

I usually join on a stud or place a cleat under at the start wall.

No, that's not it. It depends on which floor chipboard you buy. Some floor chipboards have a tongue that can handle more and don't need to be jointed on a stud, others MUST be jointed on a stud. Just read the manual.

Klots?

A small wooden piece, type.

No, that's not the case. It depends on the type of flooring chipboard you buy. Some flooring chipboards have a groove that can handle more and don't need to be joined on a stud, others MUST be joined on a stud. Just read the instructions.

You're right, but it's common in construction to join between studs and it holds.

 

[injonil]

It certainly does! But as a hempulare, you preferably do as you "should"

 

[JOW]

Yes, it's tough not having anyone to blame.....

You are right. but it is common in construction to splice between studs and it holds.

Of course, it holds!
What might happen is that it starts to creak in 2, 8 or 16 years...

Yes, there are definitely many opinions.
And there might be many things that one can do and things that one shouldn't do.

But one thing I think anyway. If you don't have any secret knowledge, then you do exactly as the supplier of the product indicates. I don't think it's more complicated than that.

But if you plan to work with the same product for many years in a row, I can understand that you might be tempted by shortcuts, because it does add up to a lot of time in the end. But not in my house, thank you.
