Hi Jimmy,
whenever the subject of noise disturbances attributed to Upstairs hard floor surfaces arises, created either by the removal of carpet and the sanding and varnishing of the existing floorboards or the installation of a Floating Floor over floorboards, I tear up.
I wish to speak for the thousands who are the ‘Upstairs’ who must put up with the noise from ‘Them’ downstairs.
My building is a four Lot Strata constructed in 1940. Two up, two down. Both downstairs Lots have hard wood flooring.
To infer that you can only be disturbed in one direction in this regard is annoying to say the least.
