Solid Wood Flooring on top of Concrete Subfloor

by Snowman001 » Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:03 am

Hello,

I have purchased some solid wood flooring and plan to put it in down in my living room on my concrete subfloor. I have checked and the moisture level is well below acceptable levels.

Having never done this before but researched quite a bit i am confused on a few parts:

1: Do i need to put down a liquid DPM here on the concrete before i glue the boards?
2: I have read the i should have the tongue point away from the wall but in another place i read for glue direct to concrete it should be facing the wall.
3: Do i need to glue the grooves in the boards ?

The Floor is - http://www.nagleflooring.co.uk/product_ ... _index.php

Thank you for your feedback!
