This all depends on the floor. Concrete that is level is a wonderful substrate for many types of flooring. * Ceramic or porcelain tile: are great on concrete. In fact it is the preferred substrate. Laid on a level floor with a good latex fortified thinset, you should expect this floor to last a lifetime. * Vinyl: Another great floor for concrete. Glued directly to the floor you really don't need to do much special. The surface needs to be free of defect, as any will show through to the surface. Today there are great vinyl floors that look like wood (not a perfect representation mind you) that you can put onto a water or moisture prone area like basements. * Wood: With wood you do have some limitations. You cannot lay a solid wood floor over concrete. You also cannot put solid wood subgrade (below the soil line of the outside of your house, basements, sunken living rooms etc). You can though lay an engineered wood onto concrete, even subgrade. Engineered wood is plywood with real wood planking atop. These are laid with a high quality latex or urethane based glue. * Floating Wood or Laminate: Like a lot of floors, floating floors must have a very level substrate. 1/8" in a 6' radius is the standard idea. If you have a substrate level enough, you should be good to go. Most pads for laminate or wood are already a moisture barrier. If it is not, or the pad is attached to the floor already you need to lay 6 mil rolled plastic over the entire floor. Beyond that, the floor should be very similar to installing onto a wood subfloor.
