    I am loking for a place that sells solid/semi solid timber flooring at a good price in the Dublin/Meath area.

    Also... can solid flooring be floated on a concrete floor or does it need to be raised off the floor?

    Junckers wood floors can be floated...they are clipped together though.
    Most other solids are secret nailed into battens

    A little outside your area but Finn McCarthy and sons Prosperous, Kildare have prefinished solid oak at under €21 per sq yard. I have used it and its very good. Didnt find anything cheaper.

    You can float on concrete buts its very hard to get the boards all tight. Unless your very tight for space its easier to nail down 3 inch strips of 3\4 plywood and nail wood to that.

    You can also use adhesive such as sikabond (Chadwicks). A bit messy but well worth it especially if you don't want to raise the floor.

    Drop me a PM or post if you want more details.
