Chipboard Smell From New Flooring Laid 5 Months ago

by candycola » Wed Dec 12, 2018 5:09 pm

Hi,

Looking for some advice - we got new flooring put down made of chipboard & a carpet over the top, 5 months ago.

There's been a persistant 'woody' smell since, we removed the carpet & discovered it was the chipboard smell. Put varnish over it but can still smell it!

Do you know whether putting down vinyl instead of carpet would seal in the smell?

Thanks
