Hi everyone, but this time especially to builders who may be reading because I need some advice.
I have a concrete floor with dpm and insulation underneath and I want to lay a wood finish. The wood is about 4" wide random lengths of reclaimed maple and is t+g along it's length. The underside however, is not flat - it has a groove about 2" wide and 1/4" deep along it's length.
So my question is, what is the best way to lay this? Should I put foam sheet first as for laminate floors, or should I lay the maple straight onto the concrete?
Should it be laid loose or glued to the concrete, and if gluing is best, what glue should I use?
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks,
K
