I need to make a hole between two joists in an existing floor to run ventilation pipes. I will then close up the floor and lay click flooring on top. I'm wondering how to best solve this. Do I need joists to nail into, does it work to screw say 70*45 into the old joists lengthwise or should I install between the joists and lay, for example, chipboard on these? It doesn't need to look good, just work without flexing/creaking.
If it's a jointed wooden floor, the easiest way is probably to tear up as many boards as needed using a spikutdragare, pull the pipes that need to be pulled, and finally screw back the boards you lifted.
If you then get short edges hanging in the air, you kotlar there. But the easiest way is to take the circular saw and run along the joists 1 cm away so that you can easily glue a 45x70-95 along the beams and the height will be below the ends, pull a clamp and screw, then put back the cut-off piece after installation.
