If the oak is down solid and no buckles, you can staple or glue most Bamboo over a suitable wood floor.. PLEASE check with the maker of teh Bamboo so you dont get blindsided.
Absolutely, but you have to be aware that it will raise your floor level and you might have a problem with door jambs and levels of flooring from one from room to another.
It is certainly possible to tile a floor, but bear in mind, there is much more pressure placed on the floor than on the walls, and floor tile must be laid over a solid cement base, otherwise it is going to crack.
If it sits over a cement floor, then no. If it is a nailed down floor, then you can, but you still have to install a cement board.
Floating Installation This method the floor floats over foam cushioned padding.
yes, but it will slide over the years so I would not
Absolutely.
only if its solid wood under and a well stuck down single layer if there is any movement ie cracks in the vinyl the wood floor is not stable and a 1/2 ply should be laid down first then rosin or felt paper
If it is down good and you are nailing the Bamboo, YES if you are glueing it, I dont think so & would make the manufacturer put it in writing before I did!
The floor you can install on top of the radiant heat is Tile and hardwood floor.
No, laminate is floating type of floor installed over an insulation pad. Hardwood floor has to be nailed, stapled or glued to the subfloor. If you do manage to install hardwood on top of laminate sooner or later your Laminate floor will expand due to high temperature or humidity and it will create gaps between hardwood planks.
To install a floating floor over concrete, first ensure the concrete is clean and level. Lay down a moisture barrier, then install underlayment padding. Next, click or glue the floating floor planks together, leaving a small gap around the edges for expansion. Trim the edges and add finishing touches as needed.
No, bamboo is a type of wood floor, similar to engineered woods in which layers of wood are pressed together. Laminate contains a resin/wood/composite base over which a layer of laminate (plastic) has been applied.
