Floor hardboard before underlay and carpet

Posted by Neil Oviatt, on
Hi experts. I have dusty with old plaster dust hardboard floor in my daughters bedroom. I want to seal it / dust proof it before underlay and carpets next week. What can I use ? Any old primer ? Something specifically? Thanks for your help.

Hi Neil, you would do well to use a hoover first and then seal hardboard with PVA glue. Alternatively just replace the hardboard, which I expect your carpet fitter could do.

What would you like to do now?
