Hardwood flooring on concrete without subfloor?
Hi All, my first post.
New DIYer here. Bought a house recently. It had carpet in the basement unit. Removed carpet, has concrete beneath. Thinking of installing hardwood. But a subfloor and hardwood will increase floor height substantially and causes other issues (doors, uneven floor height with bathroom/kitchen).
Is there a way to install hardwood on the concrete directly? Is it a good idea? (I live in MA, house is subjected to new england weather if it matters). If not, what are the alternatives?
Thanks in advance.
