Laminate Floor

Laminated Floor strength test.

 Following a bit of research into floor construction I decided to experiment with the creation of a laminate floor panel based on ply/expanded foam/ply laters. 

Adhesive used was Screwfix no-nonsense expanding (solvent free) sticky foam. Mid later 30mm XPS styrofoam. These layers were glued, pressed together under weights and allowed to dry overnight.


Top surface 12mm of softwood plywood. 30mm XPS styrofoam, bottom surface 4mm plywood


Output is light, strong and inflexible. The beams here are at 750mm centres and there is no flexing under my weight.
