DIRECT TO CONCRETE
The direct fixing method of gluing solid timber to concrete is an exciting new innovation, involving specially machined flooring timber. Available species are Southern Oak, Tasmanian Oak and Victorian Ash and widths range from 60mm, 80mm, 85mm, 89mm cover by 13mm thickness, depending on the specie chosen. Specially formulated Polyurethane adhesives are used in this process.

PLYWOOD BASE OVER CONCRETE
Using this method, a plywood sheet floor is fixed to the concrete slab over a moisture barrier. The floorboards are then fixed to the plywood base by glue and secret nailing. This method has a total profile depth of about 34mm for the 19mm thick flooring.

BATTEN SYSTEM OVER CONCRETE
This method consists of a series of timber battens fixed with masonry anchors to the concrete slab, over polythene sheeting at a spacing to suit the particular flooring product used. Solid timber tongue and grooved floorboards are then fixed to the battens. One method has a total profile depth of about 55mm for 19mm thick boards. Another is a cost efficient 19mm batten for a total floor height of 38mm. A sill may be required at the junction between the boards and lower profile flooring products (Carpet/Ceramic Tiles) used in the building. In a new building this difference can be more easily accommodated through a set down in the concrete. 130mm boards need to be faced nailed.
