Dear woodlikeyou, thank you for your reply you suggestion of installing it floating over a DPM underlay seems to be the one that will create the least amount of trouble and mess. I have never installed an oak floor floating I have always glued them to the subfloor. Please can you tell me the correct way to install floating (an idiots guide please) my only worry would be that if the boards are not stuck to anything couldn’t they move about a lot or warp. In exchange for your help I am happy to buy all that I need from you (except the wood floor because I already have that) Please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area.
You seem to be the most knowledgeable person on here please could you look at my post and try to help me http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=165167 Thank you
