Hi
I've encountered a problem in my house, I want tiles in the hall (22mm chipboard on cc600 joists) without any level difference to the other rooms (8mm parquet on top of the boards and joists).
My plan was to install noggings and lay floorboards on them, the floorboards and existing beams would then be at the same level, and then self-leveling compound until I'm satisfied with the level.
Is this feasible or am I making a mistake??
The area in question is 1.6*1.6
Thanks in advance

We will do the same thing when we build our bathroom. We don't want a level difference into the bathroom. We currently have cc600 and short girders cc300 recessed 22mm to lay the chipboard in and then level on top. I have talked to a carpenter and the tile setter who will install tile and they said it works well, so I really hope it's possible to do it that way...

It's a bit fiddly, but the result is good. I shaved down my studs and added an extra one in between, and it has worked for many years.
But you're putting a strip on the floor joists so the chipboard gets support there as well.

Oops Went and bought everything I thought I would need yesterday but I didn't think about any moldings to put on existing studs... thanks for the tip
Is it enough to put a nail angle (is that what it's called? I hope you understand what I mean) under the noggins or do I have to use a joist hanger??

Alternate staggering so you can nail through the floor joist. Where it's not accessible, either toenail or put a 45x45 in the corner between the joist and staggered block. But a joist hanger can be used as well.
