Particle board floor. Using a standard nail gun to install the floor was out of the question particle board isn t structurally sound enough to bite nails. Particleboard flooring doesn t have to look cheap. Removing the particle board was impossible it was completely glued down to the plywood. However the pros basically stop there.

This is because particleboard is more moisture sensitive than other sub floor materials and because of its construction will not hold a staple or nail.
