Laying Solid wood floor on concrete

[marlow]

hi hope someone can help!

i have just brought a 1930's house and want to lay solid oak flooring in the living room.

it is a concrete floor

the boards are 18mm thick.

basically i want to know the best way to lay the flooring.

i have been told about a bitumen glue that can be painted on floor and the flooring layed direct on top.

another method i was told about was to lay ply wood and builders paper then nail the boars on top

what is the best method???

thanks anyone who can help

If you still need an answer to this, here ya' go.

Concrete needs to be free from contaminats
Don't bother with BS8203 %RH way too high for kiln dried wood anyway!
Apply an epoxy surface DPM F Ball F75?
Neoprene Primer F Ball P131
WATER BASED Smoothing Compound 1bag for 5M2 F Ball Pink Bag
At this point I personally switch to Mapei P990 adhesive or sticking with F Ball B95
