Solid Oak Flooring installation

[pigsypete]

Hi all, hope you can give me some guidance.

I am about to install a solid oak floor onto a concrete floor at ground level. The floor has been down for over 20 years.

Do I need to put a DPM in ?

Do I need to insulate if so what tyhpe would be best ?

How is it best to fix the floor ? (I have purchased glue to run down the T&G)

Finally with the expansion gap is it bestg to use the cork strips round the edge or just leave a air gap ?

Thanks in advance

Pete

Read: Gaps! They are there for a very good reason! (wish I got a pound for every time this question comes up, could retire)

And as for how to best fix the floor, depends on the product you bought, see here:
