Laying a wood floor what adhesive?

A final option for laying over concrete would be to fit using the floating floor method. This method however is not recommended for use with a solid oak floor because of the reasons outlined above. Therefore an engineered is only suited for this process. The floating floor method simply involves laying your engineered oak boards, without any direct fixing to the sub-floor. For this, the floor quite literally “floats” over the top of the concrete, with the tongue and grooves glued together.

Whatever method you decide upon when laying oak flooring over concrete, it is vital that the concretes moisture level is below 4%. This can be done using a moisture metre. this might help rick.

 

only problem he is fixing to concrete

 

Spread a think layer of peanut butter under it. Usually does the trick.

Seriously, I'd leave your Marleys where they are and lay the floor over them.

 

i think snotty got the right answer

 

joy....Elastilon?

 

ermmmmm ermmmm ermmmm my brain hurts.
anyone got any old lino.

 

garage floor paint works well

 

I know @sANDYbAY is on his way to you as he has plans to make us all a keyring

 

even if it was a key ring?

 

it's hard to determine which option would best suit your circumstances, without seeing what state the floor is in at present...
there's only three basic options:

• nailed to a sub-floor (bonded to the concrete)
• glued direct to the concrete or tiles (assuming flat and sound-either glue or Elastilon type)
  
• floated on top of a sub-floor (laid over the tiles to take up any discrepancies)

 

righto, i'm gonna wait until early jan lift the carpet and ask from there on, i'm not overly a fan of wood floor BUT with 2 dogs and tiles in the kitchen, laminate in the hall - guess which one i hate hoovering..... the carpet is gone it's been down years so if i lift it i will have to do something......

 

Nooooooooooo


Nothing is as good as real SOLID wood.

 

put some straw down in the meantime.....

hope this helps

 

your not helping

 

it's bio-degradable, carbon-neutral, sustainable, hygienic and inexpensive...all qualities I expect would be high on your list of priorities for the ideal flooring....
if it's good enough for the 'King of kings'.....

 

dogs clip clopping on the wooden floor would drive me bonkers..

 

this is a downside but 'tis dead funny when they run and try to stop....

 

You need to lay them so they're easy to take up again when the coppers come to recover stolen property...

 

it's not stolen, over ordered and hidden until forgotten about.
