Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in Blackfen
- Blackfen subfloor reality
Original pine floorboards everywhere — every LVT or vinyl job here gets ply'd first.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Blackfen bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions

Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
