I was able to pick up some 12"X36" 3/4" natural stained oak shelving . . . The shelving is stained and sealed.
I want to install the oak on the kitchen floor. I am working on a concrete pad. I know that there should be some sort of water-proofing or sealant between the floor and the pad. Would 6-mil poly work?
I would prefer that the floor be "floating" on the pad with a herringbone pattern . . . I am wondering on how to attach each piece together. I was thinking of maybe biscuits? Or running a groove along the edge and splice the pieces together?
I have noticed that "regular" wood flooring is grooved on the floor side for expansion. What should I do about possible "cupping" of the floor, if anything?
