We had NO problems with gaps or shifting... they were stunning and very quiet.

I had a floating floor in my last house and we didn't like the creaking. Paul Re: solid timber boards on a slab 20Nov 16, 2011 4:28 pm But if you direct stick then you'll most likely need self levelling compound as well as painting on a moisture sealant. Did you use these prep methods? Otherwise i hear that the boards will warp due to the moisture sweating from the slab.
