Should the short side of the floor chipboard always lie on a joist (between floor beams)? Or can you place the joints as you wish? ...as mentioned, an old house doesn't always have exact cc60
.. otherwise, there will be a lot of waste....

Check what the manufacturer prescribes. It seems to be different for different boards.
Forestia, which I have bought, says yes with some reservations. Or should I call it a "maybe".

As Mikael L writes, check with the manufacturer!

Here you have a board that can be joined between the studs. It is sold at Beijer.
Good luck!

Hehe.. I asked about this at Byggmax some time ago...
- Uh.. check with someone else.. like Beijers...?
The fact is that we probably have 10-15 miles to the nearest BeijerBygg, but the Byggmax salesperson didn't seem to have any clue about the flooring chipboards they were selling.

Read on the boards that Bauhaus has, apparently there is an assembly instruction in every 10th package...
It said Nja (preferably not) with a requirement for more screws on the last beam.
Another question, if you have a room that is about 370cm * 400cm, is it okay to lay the shorter piece alternately on the right and left side?

Wouldn't it be fine if you lay it staggered?
The piece (cut) you have left over when you've completed a row, you start with on the next row and then continue in the same manner?
Like when you're laying click flooring, etc.

I have successfully screwed floor chipboard with Biltema's wood screws with countersunk head and Torx.trojlee said:Why is the chipboard screw of the cross type instead of Torx?...I find that I'm going through a lot of bits now when I'm screwing floor chipboard
The screw heads are slightly larger in diameter than regular chipboard screws, but neither I nor the floor layers have had any problem with this.
I looked this up a couple of years ago, back then (don't know if it's still the case) Byggmax was selling Finnish boards, and the manufacturer recommended joining over a joist.FredrikR said:Hehe.. I asked about this at Byggmax some time ago...

I think the problem with running is that the cut-off pieces become too short, I was thinking of buying one of the longer and one of the shorter for each round.FredrikR said:Won't it be good if you lay it running?
The piece (cut off) you have left when you've laid one row, you start with on the next row and then continue in the same way?
Just like when you lay click flooring etc.
But I'll sketch a bit on running.

But what if you do as you might have been considering then?
Lay so you get staggered joints, that is, start with a whole board in the first row, then take a divided board as the first in row 2, whole in row 3, etc.
Might lead to some waste, but it's the way I would lay the floor chipboard.
Thanks for the responseFredrikR said:Aha
But if you do as you might have been considering then?
Place so you get shifted seams, meaning start with a whole board in the first row, then take a split board as the first in row 2, whole in row 3, and so on.
Might lead to some waste, but it's the way I would have laid the floorboards.
If I do as I was considering, I can probably manage to get the seams on a joist...
