Cork Floor On Concrete Slab. We have a concrete slab and have issues with cold floors. Floating cork flooring over concrete. While a subfloor is not necessary to add structural strength when you'll be laying finish flooring on top of a concrete slab (as in a basement remodel), subflooring over concrete offers two other.
I've been talking to the hos about doing cork plank flooring in the basement to help warm up the space. Hipaul | posted in construction techniques on june 15, 2007 06:04am anyone have experience putting floating plank flooring over a concrete slab? Another qualifying feature for underlayment is a moisture barrier.

Concrete floors are durable and easy to maintain but they aren't the most comfortable surface to live with and they don't do much to muffle sound. If using rolled cork underlayment the most that can be applied is a 1/8th inch, otherwise the warranty may be subject to invalidation. If necessary, tear out older layers and add a fresh underlayment. For example, a bathroom on a slab would feature a layer of cork or synthetic cork underlayment on top of the concrete subfloor, followed by the electric heating element, and topped with the flooring substrate.
