Question

Glued Floor vs Floating floor


I live in Orlando, FL and I'm getting ready to install a hardwood floor over my concrete slab. We are installing the following floor

The Millstone Collection “aka” Timeless Textures
Classic Series
Maple
DTMPBZ / BRONZE
9/16"x5"x RL 7ply

Were trying to figure out wich is better, glue it down or float it. I've had two different companies tell medifferent things. One says glue it the other says float it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Glued Floor vs Floating floor


The middleman Forest Accents says nothing about floating, but it looks like the same product manufactured in China packaged and sold by many in the US including Garrison, Naturally Aged, Johnson to name a few. Some say float while others say not to.
