Wooden floor-installation method

Posted by Gina Cheun, on
Hi. there is concrete floor all over my flat. and looking to get wooden floor. it can be either solid wood or engineered wood. Should it only have to be only click lock system? or can it be also tongue and Groove? someone said it always have to be click lock and I found there is less choice of floor with this system. ALso which underlay can I use to keep it warm?

Hi Gina the engineered boards tend to be click lock and the solid wood is tongue and groove, either system works fine when installed correctly. Your supplier will advise you on the underlay to use, but it will need to have a damp proof membrane built in as the floor is concrete. Ed
