    Hardwood Floors
    I was wondering if anyone here has installed a Hardwood Floor over concrete ? I have done them over wood, but never over concrete and I am looking for any inout/experience on this matter. Thanks

    I know Bruce engineered 3/8" hardwood floor can be glued over concrete.

    If you want 3/4" you will need to put down firring strips on the concrete so you can nail the hardwood to that.

    Go to hardwoodinstaller.com scroll down to installations. Your question is the first installation topic.

    You can glue solid hardwood on concrete using the Sika system but not below grade.
