QUOTE(weikee @ Oct 11 2011, 11:43 AM) The batten suppose to be a better way, and is also the old way. Think the info you got is a lil inaccurate. Generally, the batten system is used for tongue & groove timber flooring. This is to ensure that the flooring is installed on a flat surface.If water spill over the floor, it will slip through the floor board and go down to the baton and slowly dry. This make the solid wood last longer. Without batten the solid wood will soak in the water and go out of shape. This batten is also hard wood (think is chengal can really recall), is harder than merbau. Hardwood flooring with batten installation is more expensive than just glu the wood flooring. Flooring using the S4S type is installed directly onto rendered cement floor using nails to hold down the floor while the glu sets. S4S type floors generally experience some sinking pieces after a number of years. But do correct me if I'm wrong. |
