Flooring for base system




We recommend that you contact your local branch of JEWSONS , or any other Builders Merchants, and order your flooring directly from them.
They will deliver directly to your house at a very competitive rate.  Our delivery modules are too small to accommodate the chipboard and insulation.

We recommend the following materials:

18mm thick T&G Chipboard flooring,
moisture resistant Size 2400 x 600mm per sheet each
25mm thick jablight polystyrene insulation Size 2400 x 1200mm per sheet each ( If you wish to insulate under the timber floor )
To calculate the amount of flooring sheets required:
Multiply the overall length of the conservatory by the width Divide the result by 1.44, ( each chipboard sheet is 1.44 square metres )

This will tell you how many chipboard sheets you require. You need one sheet of  Jablight insulation for every two sheets of chipboard Example; Conservatory 3000mm wide x 4000mm deep 3000 x 4000mm = 12 square metres.

Divided by 1.44 = 8.33 sheets of chipboard Therefore, to allow for wastage you should purchase 10 sheets of chipboard and 5 sheets of Jablight Cost of Chipboard is approximately £4.50 per square metre Cost of Jablight is approximately £3.50 per square metre Total cost of the above example is 14.4 square metres of floor and insulation at a total cost of approximately £115.00 including VAT and delivery, or £9.60 per square metre of the example floor.

For a simple estimate allow £10.00 per square metre.

If you request a quotation from us then the quotation will tell you how many sheets of chipboard you will require.

Please note that these figures are for estimating only and you will need to check with your local JEWSONS or other builders merchants for an accurate price delivered
