Elka solid wood flooring

[Dav88uk]

Hi all
I am about to fit Elka oak flooring to lounge and dinning room both have concrete floors both are quite level !
On instructions it states that you should adhere to sub floor with a water free , alcohol glue specially for wood ! and there is no need to apply glue to tongue and groove !
My question, is there a glue on the market specially for this job of glueing straight onto concrete sub floor ? if so what is it called ?
Must admit i was thinking of laying a thin membrane and glueing the tongue and grooves and leaving a 15 mm expansion gap ! would this be acceptable ?

All help and advise appreciated

Dave

Dear Dav88uk

Is your area is not wider then 5 meter then the simplest solutions is to install DPM + sound insulation first and install the wooden floor floating (as per your own suggestion). The expansion gap should be 4mm per meter width if your are installing Solid Oak.

The area is under 5 meters so i can do the the floating floor method, is it best to glue the tongue and groove? and if so with what type of glue

cheers dave

Hi again

Yep, glue the groove (the whole groove, not drop some dots on some places and do try to aim at the botom side of the groove to prevent spillage on the surface when installing the board, if you see what I mean). Normal PVAC glue is fine.
