I'm fitting parquet floor on concrete/cement floor, it is flat already so doesn't need a SLC. I'm not sure if there is an DPM underneath the concrete floor but it was built 30 years ago. I have no way of measuring the moisture levels either. I thought of applying a liquid DPM for good measure...

As per the title, what are the popular adhesives to fit parquet on concrete? Is Mapei ultrabond 955 any good? Few other options I saw are Lecol 5500 Laybond L16 Sika 5500 thanks.

I'm about to install Quick-Step 8mm laminate on my ground floor which is pretty even and solid after I levelled it out with 9mm ply. I already bought Vitrex premier wood laminate underlay boards 5mm from Screwfix , but after reading a bit on forums I can see some people recommend the 3mm heavy...

Do I need to use TurboGold ones which seem to have more grip ? double the price or just regular Goldscrew in your link will do?
