Q:
Can I install Hardwood Floors over a concrete slab?

A:
Most Engineered & Longstrip (glueless) Hardwood Floors can be installed over most concrete slabs (not solid hardwood). The concrete slab must be fully cured for at least 60 days, free of structural defects, clean and visually dry with no history of moisture problems.

When testing for moisture, we suggests utilizing the industry-standard calcium chloride test or the Tramex Moisture Encounter (5 max). Note: Light-weight concrete that has a dry density of 100 pounds or less per cubic foot is not suitable for most hardwood floors.
