Best way to fix oak t+g to concrete conservatory floor ?

[Simon Dyer]

Hi, just finishing off a conservatory and the customer no longer wants tiles. He has decided on oak T+G flooring as a friend of his has some cheap.
My first thoughts were to lay a membrane and then glue the T+G together as a floating floor but the guy has 13 poodles who are not house trained
I am now thinking of laying battens and fixing the T+G to them somehow (screw and plug or secret nail maybe) as the little darlings will piddle all over it and don't want to be called back to a uneven floor !
Any thoughts or suggestions ?
Thankyou Simon

do not install floor. No matter how well you install with dogs using as a toilet it will go wrong. back to tiles

Partner in crime Matty is right.
Even if the doggies were house trained: cheap floors are bound to cause problems (especially in conservatiories)

Hi guys, the flooring is not cheap but but solid oak that has been "reclaimed" (long story) and run through a planer/thicknesser.
I know that it will go wrong but he is paying (day work) and I just want the best method that might last a little longer I have already explained the risks and he is happy to take them.
Thanks Simon

Best bet than (but make sure your customers signs a disclaimer!) is to install combi underlayment and install floating. Any problems afterwards can be resolved easier than when you fix every down to battens.

But like Matty says: circumstances aren't ideal.
