Personally I would look at a quality Lamainate over Click LVT, far less likely to have issues created by level or weight of furniture which Click LVT is plagued with.

Either/Or

Dazlight's advice is absolutely spot on and the correct way to make sure the Herringbone does'nt go all over the place. Technically, you 'could' use something like Mapei Renovation screed over the base chipboard according to Mapei's specifications but it would be imperitive to use their primer...

You won't be able to coat or polish up a Lacquered Engineered Wood Floor. The finishing coat is a protective matt sheen layer above the wood surface. Only way to change the finish would be to sand off the protective coating which will be a nightmare.

That looks damaged, you could try cleaning the joint up and using a suction cap to pull the floor back together but I don't fancy your chances.

From the description, to me, that actually looks like it needs to be fully glued to a flat screed prepared or SP101 Ply subfloor and can’t be floated on an underlay. Plain tongue and groove and not being suitable for UFH would suggest fully stuck install The website seller should supply full...

In Company B is talking sense.

Mapei Renovation over that will be fine.

Sounds like it’s a clicknsustem gloating floor that needs laying on underlay. Doesn’t sound like it’s a ‘proper’ parquet floor. The packs should have the details the manufacturer recommends regarding installation.

Of your using quality self levelling screed and spiked roller you won’t need pegs for self levelling screed

Yes

For best results, lay ply, screed lower area to level of ply, then screed whole area over the top so it’s perfectly level. You’ll need to use a quality self levelling screed suitable for use over wood and concrete substrates, Mapei Renovation is really good and relatively affordable, Arditex...

Depends on your skill set with self levelling but essentially, fill concrete area with self levelling screws and either blend at the join to the ply, or, fill to level and then lay a standard coat screed over the ply and concrete for a perfect finish. You’ll ideally want to use a screed...

If it’s ply sheeting or composition boarding you need to fix it securely to the supports underneath

Technically you could Mapei Renovation screed directly over the existing Ply subfloor although you take the risk that the existing ply is stable enough to support the LVT. Without seeing the job it’s hard to say but all the LVT manufacturers will specify SP101 6mm Flooring grade ply over the...

In that case you need to lay flooring grade SP101 6mm Ply over the subfloor, ensure it’s secured every 3 inches across every sheet, then feather edge or microcoat all the joints and any low fixings and glue the LVT direct to it. if we were laying Herringbone, we would Mapei Renovation Screed...

By Floating floor, do you mean into a Laminate or engineered wood type floor?

Personally not a big fan of 12mm thick underlay and standard gripper but it’ll do a similar job to Axfelt no probs.

His advice sounds sensible and honest re: UFH If you were to fit carpet, Uplift the old Laminate and install the new carpet on a really good underlay, I'd recommend Ulster Axfelt65 which is a Natural Felt underlay with crumb rubber support layer (which lays direct on the concrete). We find...

Click cannot be glued, it needs the same subfloor preparation as glue down to have a chance of being effective, you will need a expansion gap around the edge of all rooms covered by scotia or new skirting and doorways should have door bars. You can't pin the floor down with too much weight that...
