Hi,
This is my first post here.
I want to install an engineered wood floor in the living room of my new house (under construction). It has a concrete screed with existing DPC,
the house is new, and has exellent drainage so rising damp is unlikely.
The flooring will be Engineered Oak, 3 strip with square edges, it will use the "click" system.
I like the idea of glueing the floor instead of floating it, but I know its more tricky.
Some floating installations feel a bit spongey to walk on, and gaps sometimes appear between planks (this is especially niticable when using 3-strip flooring)
Can anyone advise me of the advantages/disadvantages of each method and your own reccomendation.
Also, Although the planks use the "click" system. Can I still glue the planks to prevent gaps appearing over time??
thanks
Danny
