    Hi there,

    So im currently renovating my house and bought some 38mm solid maple floorboards with the intention to lay on the ground floor of the house. The boards came from an old factory that was knocked down so come with plenty of character and when sanded look really good.

    The floor in the living room is concrete and has been levelled out with latex self levelling compound so far.

    The thing is the flooring, probably likely to how its been stored has bowed in some parts, and I feel trying to lay it with adhesive wont work as when you walk on the one end of some pieces the other side comes up.

    The flooring is tongue and groove and Although ive had quotes from carpenters I think with the floor being in the condition that it is wont work being stuck down.

    From reading other places theres a suggestion of putting down a dpc then plywood drilled into the concrete the nail/ screw the boards to that?

    Im so stuck with what to do with it so any advice at all would be very appreciated. Thank you
