best flooring solutions for concrete floors

[Donnaidh]

Hi, we're moving into a house with concrete floors throughout. I've never had to deal with them before and just wondered what folks would advise for flooring eg anything to avoid/ watch out for? Cheers

you can have any type of flooring

But... (if carpets and underlay)

I would strongly advise you have any gripper stuck down, ideally the day before - there may be a small extra charge for this

Hi, If you are looking at wood and laminate flooring, they can all be used but Solid Wood floors will have some added costs with the preparation of the concrete.

For cost Engineered, Multiply or laminate floors.

hi, thanks for the replies, i thought there might be some issues with dampness or condensation?

 

[lymmranger]

why?

how old is the property?

is the concrete smooth?

do you think its damp?

if so why?

what type of flooring would you like?

sorry but your initial post was a bit vague and light on info
