  1. 1- Apparently you need to level first concrete floor by grinder machine which is very dirty prosses .

    2-Other way is to fill the bow sections in the floor by a lay of mortar to make that level .

    This is Caz of eliminate un even floor after installation .Other wise you will get problem in flooring surface if install in un level concrete.


  2. wha?... solid 3/4" T&G hardwood is not recommended to be glued down to concrete, and certainly not with masonry nails by any certifying association.  engineered hardwood (3/8"-5/8")at  or above grade, maybe, with proper prep. check any of the hardwood flooring certification associations such as nofma.com.

  3. Bruce Flooring does make a line of 3/4 hardwood that u can glue down.....

    lic. gen. contractor

  4. Yes..But u have to anchor some cement nails to make sure the wood is properly anchored.  Don't forget the construction glue before u nail, and plenty of it.

  5. steve . really you can glue anything to any thing ....

    the question is it right .... my answer to you ,is no  lol

      wood needs to move . it need some sort of  underlayerment

    to help with that movement ...     may i suggest you use at least 3/8  ply   glued with  liquid cement
