I have a job where the owner wants to pt a wood floor on a slab. the architect has suggested dricore. can you nail a t and g wood floor to floating panels like dricore or should the subfloor be mechanically fastened? what methods do you all prefer?

we always shoot the plywood down, you could use a large roll of platon, then shoot the ply down on top, accomplishes the same thing, but faster, less $, rigid subfloor, less joints ...

Hardwood Flooring (ABOVE GRADE only) Acclimatize both the finished floor and DRIcore panels simultaneously to equalize the moisture contents of both products to the temperature and humidity of the room where the flooring materials will be installed.
During seasonal periods of high humidity conditions such as June, July or August, it is recommended to acclimatize DRIcore panels simultaneously with the finished wood flooring to be installed for about 2 weeks to allow for the balancing of the moisture contents of both products. Check with the finished wood flooring manufacturer for their recommended temperature and humidity guidelines.
