Hi,
Just ripped the carpet up on our landing and the Alps are flatter. They've always been noisy but now I see why, all over the place, short boards, random screws, there's even newspaper and caulk in between them to fill in gaps.
So, I can either leave them (we're looking at moving), mess around ripping them up and putting them back in properly or just rip the lot out and replace with mdf sheets.
Has anyone done this? What thickness of MDF did you use?
Would it also be worth buying some rubber membrane to go between the boards/mdf and the joists to help with sound or is it a waste of time?
