Wondering waht techniques folks have used to install a hardwood floor on top of a concrete slab foundation. I was condisering doing the following:
1. Vapor barrier on concrete, taped at overlapped seams.
2. Treated 1 by 4 s at 18 inch centers (staggered).
3. Nail wood planks to treated timbers.

Do I really need to anchor treated timbers with concrete nails etc.?

Should I fill in voids with carpet padding?

Your feedback appreciated.

Did you ever get any help on your project. How did you end up doing it. I am about to do the same thing and wondered ow to do it.
I have thick floor ad don't really want to use anything other than glue...
