Pier And Beam Flooring Options. I like this approach because it is cost effective and easier than bracing all of the walls in order to replace the 1/2 plywood, but i worry about what will happen. We are thinking about floating laminate wood.
The main alternative to beam and pier pier and beam houses typically have a slab on grade system for the garage. 8×10 floor beams (just two of these in strategic locations). The idea is to slowly raise the entire floor structure to level where the depression exists and this is accomplished most effectively in a gradual manner.
Since the pier and beam foundation has individual piers and beams, it is easier to isolate specific foundation problems.
My house is a pier and beam set up, the floors now have carpet and the wife would like to change it to tile. We are thinking about floating laminate wood. The piers may support wood posts that extend up to the beams as these are. We are remodling the kitchen.
