Can I install laminate over an old hardwood floor that squeaks?

Covering a hardwood floor with a laminate is not going to solve your squeak problem. The old floor will still squeak until you address the squeak and fix it. Wood floors squeak because a nail loosens at one end of a board, the wood swells and rubs due to weather, etc. But the problem can be easily solved. If you have exposed joists underneath, you can have someone walk above you and find the squeak spot, then you can shim that spot, drive an angled screw through to hold the shim. That's one way. What you need to do is visit a good flooring or hardware store and ask for the tools and products to fix your old floor. There are simple products that are inexpensive and easy to use. Save your hard wood floor. There is no value in laminate. Have you ever walked on one? Talk about noise!

What is the function of the floor?

The function of floor screed is to make a structural level floor surface above a waterproof membrane. It is usually made by either pumping in a special mix of self- levelling runny 'concrete - like' material or more traditionally a sharp sand and cement mix. Traditional screed is tamped by a large flat wooden or aluminum beam, which is called a screed, from which screed gets it's name. It should be very flat once finished and can be tiled once it has dried out, which can take weeks. It is usually laid over an insulation foam and often has electric heating elements or warm water pipes in it to make it into a large radiator. Thin screed needs to be reinforced to make it strong enough for the loads that are put on top of it which can be steel mesh or special fibres. This means that thinner screeds are often made up of specialist ingredients to make them self levelling and strong.
