I have a dilema... We managed to get lovely oak wood flooring wholesale for our living room cheaper than laminate (excess from a big job).

The living room has a concrete floor and not floorboards, and have been advised that is not an easy task to lay on top of concrete. Is there any advice or pointers that can be given to us....

Help Help Help! :(

As long as your concrete floor is level and dry it's very easy to install the floor floating. Use a undrlayment that includes a DPM to prevent any moist from the concrete coming into the wood and glue the T&G's
