Changing the Floor boards

Hi all, i'm looking to refurb my room/replace my old floorboards which are now damaged due to excessively pulling them up to reach the underlay i.e. electrics for kitchen.
I was wondering would these be suitable to replace them with as a main floorboard

the depth of my current floorboards is 60+mm, but the aforementioned ones are 18mm
regards

I used ordinary pine tongue and groove floorboard from Wickes to redo my old kitchen floor. Those boards look much more posh but won't nailing them down spoil the look a bit?For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.0

T&G boards can be fixed with a hidden nailing system. It all depends on what the profile of the new boards. If they are 18mm thick then, that is a fairly standard thickness.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
60mm floorboards !!!!!!
i trust you are joking?Get some gorm.0 -
secret nailing is what you need
make sure you buy structural boards, and then you can fit them between the joists.
wickes boards are rubbish the t&g never fit properly making the job hard0
