Hardwood Flooring Direct Stick to Concrete Slab
The installation of flooring over a concrete slab is covered in our Technical Design Guide #09 which can be downloaded from our website via this link https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/publications. If the moisture barrier on top of the slab is a polyethylene ('plastic') membrane, fixings will generally not compromise its effect since the membrane will be gripped tightly around the fastener at the point of penetration. However, there is a risk of the membrane tearing during installation of battens.
