Nail it.
Some manufacturers allow glue down of their click and fold / lock engineered wood floors. Check websites for info.
If we can nail it down we use (prefinished) hardwood. If we have to glue it down (on slab) we use engineered. You can certainly use engineered in any application whether nail down, glue down, or even floating. There really aren't many compelling reasons to use solid anymore beyond prestige and the fact that is has zero chemical emissions. Engineered can be refinished just like solid, as long as the top veneer is think enough. If you plan to be in your house long enough to refinish the floor, use an engineered with a 3mm+ top veneer.
Yes, it must be a glue down wood or a floating wood floor.
engineered floors such as pergo or Armstrong should float on a supplied pad because the will expand and contract with weather conditions
No it's impossibleEdit: I would have to disagree with this answer. Typically, you would not glue click lock hardwood floors, but if the floor is level and even you could both click it and glue it. It's not necessary, but you could do it.ANS 3 - If the click-lock flooring is laid properly it should be on thin wavy foam sheet. -It's supposed to 'float' ! If this is left out and the laminate is glued to sub floor, chances are good that it will start to separate in much used areas. -NOT a good idea to glue it
The best glue for hardwood floors is polyurethane adhesive, as it provides a strong and durable bond that can withstand the stress and movement of hardwood flooring.
Any wood glue will work great for hardwood floors, but make sure it's compatible with your wood type.
The type of glue recommended for installing hardwood floors is a high-quality construction adhesive specifically designed for wood flooring installation.

The best installation methods for hardwood over concrete floors are glue-down and floating floor installations. Glue-down involves adhering the hardwood directly to the concrete using a strong adhesive, while floating floor installation involves placing the hardwood over a foam underlayment without attaching it to the concrete. Both methods are effective for ensuring a stable and durable hardwood floor on concrete surfaces.
The best type of glue to use for hardwood floors on concrete is a polyurethane adhesive. It provides a strong bond and is specifically designed for bonding wood to concrete surfaces.
Yes you can, but it's not recommended due to the different expansion rates of plywood and narrow strips of hardwood. -All the experts will tell you it should be angle-nailed.
For installing hardwood floors in a high-traffic area, it is recommended to use a high-quality polyurethane adhesive specifically designed for hardwood flooring.
Scrape as much as you can with a metal spatula then use Goof Off to get the rest. It will NOT harm hardwood floors.
If your hardwood flooring has ANY kind of finish on it, acetone will ruin it.
No, usually the varnish used on hardwood floors is resistant to turpentine. I would rather use Goof Off if I was removing carpet glue.
