Carpet or floorboards upstairs. h w. april 9, 2016. hi, we are doing a new build and are trying to decide whether to have the two bedrooms upstairs carpeted or to use floorboards (the whole ground floor including bedrooms will have floorboards). would love to hear the pros and cons of each! thanks!.

Hello all, i have recently constructed a new upstairs bathroom by sectioning off part of an existing bedroom and creating a new doorway into the landing.. You will find all of your floorboards are not built around the walls & room layout, hense making it impossible to replace the floorboards. our 1996 barrett house (and our neighbours) has also had the most awful creaking noise upstairs, only in two rooms..
