Hiya Slowman Sadly, your right, the engineered oak would have been far easier, and possibly cheaper in terms of hours spent and preparation needed, as solid boards need something to be fixed to, like a wooden sub-floor if secret nailing them in place (This is where the nails are put in from the side to hide them) If you had gone for the engineered floor, you could have simply laid out the underlay right over the tiles, then the flooring straight on top of that and job done, then you just have to figure out a way to meet it with ajoining floors so it doesnt create a step, unless a step is desired, but that becomes a trip hazard that will drive you bonkers. Solid boards, no, you shouldnt even try to lay them as a flaoting floor because you need a way to join them all together, so that the entire floor surface becomes 1 big peice, but with solid boards, you cant do that, they need to be fixed to something like existing floorboards, or........ You could glue them down, like you would with tiles, but this then eliminates a lot of the insulation they would typically offer as they would simply absorb the cold from the floor below. Not as cold, but still cold. I wouldnt put wooden flooring in a kitchen though, its too absorbant and cannott be cleaned thouroughly for an area where your preparing/storing food.... Also, spillages are likely to stain the flooring, leaving you with no easy way to replace the floorboards without taking it all up... The one thing I regret now is not having under floor heating installed when our kitchen and hallway were tiled...
