i just had a question to ask of you according to your expertise.i just bought a brand new home 10 months ago and the hardwood floor is sinking down in some areas,spreading apart about the width of the side of a quarter between alot of planks and some areas near my stairs have dips, and also i will be walking and clip the tip of my shoe hitting some areas thait it is lifting can you please tell me if this is wrong or is it natural settling? thank you for your time
I thought you couldn't install wood over concrete? I want to install prefinished 3/4" over concrete glued down. Can it Be done? Am I wasting my time? Please advise.
is possible to install hardwood floors over concrete, usually on floors above ground level, you have to consider that the floor has a moisture level acceptable for installation. I have had many successful work on concrete floors, but I feel more comfortable installing engineered flooring. Remember that you must consider many factors when installing this type of flooring, such as the floor must be flat, moisture acceptable quality of glue etc.
Both techniques are good, but the glue installation technique is less costly in comparison with the other. Another benefit of current adhesives for installation over concrete, is that the adhesives are prepared to handle more moisture.

Whether your home has a basement or is on a concrete slab, you can put hardwood floors on concrete floors. Installing the hardwood floor requires addressing several issues specific to concrete, however. Grade, or whether the installation is above or below ground level, the age and moisture content of the concrete floor and surface flatness all play a part in a successful wood floor installation.
I recommend Sikabond T55 and Bostik glue are the best on the market.
Well done guys
May i ask you something?
My customer want to install solid floor over a concrete and i have recommended plywood base and nailing solid on a top.

Do you start applying the hardwood floor in the middle of the room and move towards the side, or cn you just start from anywhere?
Thanks

I thought real hardwood over concrete was a no no. What did you do about moisture? What type of glue did you use?
