solid wood in hall

my friend wants me to lay solid wood flooring in her hall .the base is concrete with a dpm covering .the width is about 1metre by 7 metres in length .do I have to glue this down to the sub floor or can I float it on underlay and glue the t/groove edges .cheers

 

You must first do a damp test then liquid dpm then poss screed then oh telk you what it neds to be pro fitted or asking for major priblems
And no you cant float a solid but you can engeneered flooring

 

ok sort of get what you mean cheers will lay engineered

 

Much better for you to fit. Just make sure you leave the correct expansion gap.
Use a dpm sheet then underlay to make sure.
Kahrs do nice eng flooring and also quickstep .
Solid wood needs a proffessional fit
