Hi guys I am after some advice, we want to install a solid oak floor in our living room 25msq it's a concrete sub floor, we are looking at Wickes solid oak that they reccoment using it floating with clips, I'm not doing that as a friend did nd had major problems, I am going to glue it down but don't want to do it directly to the concrete floor as I want to add a new DPM as its an old house and am not 100% there is a DPM
So what I am looking to do is lay a DPM sheet then lay either 12 or 18mm chipboard on top and glue the floor to that. I have looked at using plywood but it's gone so expensive compared to chipboard. Ideally I'd like to use 12mm as the floor is 18mm and can't add to much height due to a low celling,
Can you see a problem with this?
Thanks. In advance
