Project Overview
The owners of a historic cider mill wanted to convert a damp, cobbled cellar into a practical storage space while preserving its original flooring. The cellar’s uneven and damp nature presented significant challenges, and the solution needed to respect the building's heritage status.
Challenges
Solution: SubFloor System
The SubFloor system was employed to address these challenges. The pressure-treated wooden joists, spaced at 400 mm centers, were used in conjunction with SubFloor Screws and Screw Feet to provide a level and secure flooring solution without altering the cobbled base.
