Hi
I want to fit an oak floor on the ground floor of my house. There is a concrete floor which is prety level, and the flooring I want to fit is 6inch wide solid oak planks with a tongue and grove on all edges. What is the best method for fitting this type of floor? I have read that it recommended to cover the floor in 3/4" ply and nail the oak to that, but it will raise the floor up way too much! Can I fit this type of floor as a floating floor on a suitable underlay?
Any information would be greatly appreciated
