Can I use Liquid nails (subfloor or HD) to glue down 3/8 thick engineered hardwood flooring? If so what are the disadvantages vs urethane flooring glue? And if not, why? The manufacturer's directions say the floor can be installed over wood sub flooring via nailed, glued or floating (with glued joints). Urethane flooring glue runs $40 per gallon/(40sq ft) at both Lowes and Home depot. Liquid nails would be much cheaper and simple to use. The room is small at only 130sq ft. thanks
I wouldn't use Liquid Nails. As I understand the product, it dries hard. You want something with some flex to prevent stress on your floor and the glue joints. Talk with someone in the flooring department at Lowes or Home Depot and get their recommendations. I doubt that 40 square feet of flooring would require a gallon of glue. Your other option is to make it a floating floor. Even so, think about this. Whatever you purchase, you will have to pay for only once but if you make a poor choice, you will have to live with it as long as you own your home or until you change your flooring.

Not sure whether to get wood floors in new home!!!
Engineered flooring is halfway between the laminates and true hardwood. Engineered, have a thick (3/16'') veneer of the given specie of wood over a substrate of plywood. These floor are very good, and they scratch no easier than traditional hardwood

In order to keep the parquet appearance and prolong the life of the paint industry, every one or two months to play a wax, wax before besmirch wipe up, and then in the surface layer of floor wax evenly, slightly dry with a soft cloth, until smooth and shiny.4, to prevent a strong long-term sun exposure floor, so as not to paint in the long term under ultraviolet irradiation, aging, cracking. Avoid cold and hot air blowing and baking floor.
Can I put engineered wood in my Florida condo....we are not there in summer months and are on the tenth floor on biscayne bay in Miami
Absolutely, engineered flooring is made to stand up to adverse conditions. You can even lay it directly on a concrete slab! It won't last through repeated soaking, but it stands up well to high humidity and heat and is easy to keep clean. Check with a local flooring company that sells and installs engineered wood for the full spiel.

Solid wood flooring is made of logs, different from the "solid wood composite floor", "strengthen the floor" is that the use of solid wood flooring is made of logs, with "compound" two words, are synthetic
I am thinking about putting down about 500 sq ft of Engineered Wood Flooring instead of Laminate. To keep it quiet for the neighbors below, I am thinking about using a cork underlayment. Since this install will be on the 2nd floor, do I still need to use a moisture barrier under the cork? Also, do I have to glue the cork down? I would rather not- the floor might be gypcrete which might not like glue. I am planning to float the floor using a click lock system. This is my first time so any other suggestions would be appreciated e.g., type of species to use, tips, etc.
You will not need to add a moisture barrier. You do not need to glue down the underlayment or flooring on a floating floor. You will need to tape down the underlayment. Buying good underlayment will make the floor quieter for the people on the first floor and make the feel of the floor softer for you. Good luck putting in the floor. I have installed several. Make sure you buy the install tools. They are cheap and will make the installation smoother.
