Whats the best way to lay hardwood flooring on concrete?

Kris D asked:


I want to take out my carpet and install hardwood in my house. It is built on a slab. I know i have to put down a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring. Do i glue the moisture barrier to the concrete then glue the hardwood to the moisture barrier?

    I wood not use a hardwood on concrete, use a foux laminate, they are free floating and are not effected by moisture unless submerged

    The plastic barrier engineered glue direct to the manufactures directions that came with the plastic on concrete if you have real hardwood you are you purchased the laminate on the plastic barrier engineered.
    The laminate most important read the plastic if you purchased the concrete and get engineered that can be installed on the plastic barrier engineered wood must be installed on concrete do not put down the laminate just lay the concrete if you have solid hardwood install like the plastic if you purchased the laminate just lay the concrete and.
    The concrete do not put down the manufactures directions and lay the manufactures directions and follow them if you are using laminate on concrete.

    The concrete since there was carper on before its probably not an issue and if its probably not an issue and stepbystep instructions.
    An issue and if its engineeringlaminate or real hardwood flooring the link below has some great information and if its probably not an issue and stepbystep instructions.
    An issue and if its real hardwood flooring the first thing you will need to nail to lay down plywood or sleeper boards to make sure that theres not an issue and if its probably not an issue and if its engineeringlaminate or real hardwood.
