    Im currently designing a small community centre which contains a function room that will double as a sports hall. iI have shown a concrete 100mm screed floor with 150mm insulation but want upgrade this to a timber floor.Any thoughts on what is the most convenient method of installing a timber floor? eg do i need t batten it out first?

    You'd want to be wicked careful if it is a timber sports hall floor. I'd doubt your usual batten and floor board would cut it here. You might be better off using one of the proprietary systems such as this one http://www.dynamiksportsfloors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dynamik-Academy.pdf

    at least that way you know what is going down is designed specifically for it's intended use.

    Last thing you want is someone getting hurt in a game and then blaming the floor because it was not appropriately specified for playing sports.

    I'm assumeimg there's a concrete slab below the insulation and screed. Is the sports hall heated?
    What sports are played in it?
    Needs to be a sprung timber floor.
