MikeP Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I built a shed with a chipboard floor several years ago. Since wet gardening equipment was being carried in, I wondered what to do to protect it. Eventually, I simply put down decent quality roofing felt - I just laid it flat, no nails or glue and overlapped the joints.It is still going strong. It gets walked on quite a bit but obviously not as much as say an observatory floor but has stood up very well.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centroid Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ordinary PVA will seal chipboard, but its NOT water/damp proof, and the chipboard will fall apart if it gets wet.However, Evostick do a waterproof version of their PVA wood glue, although I've no experience of it.Strandboard aka Sterling Board is a better bet than Chipboard, as its exterior grade material, and classed as 'Stuctural'.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
