b Bring on the flood.
I know there’s lots of opinions on this one. The most recent one’s are the laminant planks. “UNICLIC”, a laminant product pressed on about 5/16” of MDF. No glue? Lays out on sheet foam barrier with it’s wieght holding it in place. I’m not sold at all, however I would like to hear from those whom have a conviencing argument. Personaly I don’t like the artificial appearance.
Educate me. How about the flooring products I describe as vaneers, 5/16” or 3/8” of true wood product surface on plywood backer to create planks?
Which would you put in your house? Which are time tested?
b Critical Data. Applying to slab on grade. Discuss proper application.
I’ll start searching the archieves and index. Thanks.

*Thanks Mike,Still hope to hear from others with personal experience.Again the thing I'm skeptical about is with a slab on grade, I've seen a built up floor with two layers of 1/2'' ply before floor installation. This retailer says this i UNICLIC simply runs over a thin foam barrier. Just curious if anyone has used it, and if they are satisfied with the results.
*Mark:For other great information regarding your post check the archives and current info at floorboards.com and floorsearch.com...forums. I'd stay clear of uniclic, as I'm not a laminate fan by any means.
*Thanks for the info Ken.I am no fan of the laminates either. If not for thier artificial appearance, it's the way they come in one lenght and although staggered creates a running bond, tile like look. Again, looking for an education in an effort to be the complete source of information for my clients.The one benefit would have been the fact that with the slab on grade, this particular manufacturer does not require a built-up substrate of plywood prior to installation.I'll be checking out those websites. Thanks again.
