Floating Flooring
Before you go ahead and install your hard wood floating flooring, you need to make sure that your current one is well suited for this installation. Depending on which one you have at home, you might or might not be able to do it successfully. One of the surface types that is not suitable for floating floors installation is the solid wood, also called real wood. Basically this wood type is expanding a lot over time which is in direct contrast with the floating type that needs to be glued on top of this original layer.
The best type of flooring that is actually suitable for this kind of installation is the engineered one. This is basically a more modern variant of wood that is cheaper without losing on quality or visual appeal. You can have timber or screed or even concrete as the sub-floor but it needs to be flat and quite level without any major deviations. Should your subfloor need leveling out, what you need to do is ply over the floorboards with 3 mm hardboard. Basically if the floor is very uneven, you will need to use a thicker plywood sheet.

Floating Hardwood Floors are engineered floors created so that they may be laid over tile. Years ago, homeowners with tile floors didn't have this luxury. If they wanted hardwood flooring, they had to rip out the tile first, before installing hardwood flooring over a sub floor.
