What are some of the problems that have been experienced or seen when solid hardwood floors have been installed over particleboard? I understand that particleboard is not recommended as a subfloor for solid hardwood floors. I also had one contractor state that he installs solid hardwood over particleboard routinely and it's not a problem. So I'm not sure what to do.
We plan to do the installation and obviously would preferred to save the time and expense of replacing the particleboard for approximately 1400 square feet. But if the risk is high for headaches down the road, we'll do what we need to.
Thanks!
