is it possible to install floating real wood flooring over concrete?

Even if your home was built on a concrete slab, you can still enjoy the beauty and charm of hardwood floors.

Real hardwood engineered flooring is designed exactly for this kind of application.

It requires an underlay with a DPM over the concrete floor. The floating floor system is simply installed directly over top.

Solid wood flooring is also suitable for installation over concrete but needs to be fixed by either glueing the floor to the prepared subfloor or by using our recommended underlay system. However restrictions do apply so we would advise calling us, if unsure, to determine whether or not your subfloor and environment are ideal for this product.
