A friend of mine had hardwood flooring installed over particle board over a black, plastic material over concrete. The black plastic material is dotted with round, flat-topped, approx. 1/4 inch tall, approx. 1/2 inch wide “conical frustrums” (cones with the tops cut off) each with a hole in the middle and about 1 1/4 inch apart which face downward against the concrete creating an airspace between the concrete floor and the surface of the plastic material. Does anyone know anything about this plastic material? Is it designed for use over concrete? Is it supposed to be attached to the concrete in some fashion? Who makes it?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

HD/Lowe's/lumberyards carry that stuff and it is designed for use directly on concrete.
DRIcore is the stuff. I got what I needed from their website. Thanks for the reply.

I've used a similar product called Delta-FL (it's gray, so I know it isn't the same). It is intended for use over concrete, and it floats, you don't need to attach it, though I suppose you could spot glue it if you wanted to.

Is there an echo in here?
At the risk of repeating myself, DRIcore is the stuff. I got what I needed from their website. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the "echo". I am new to the site and didn't realize my reply to the first contributor would be posted for all, otherwise I would have stopped at the first one.
Thanks
