    I beg you please get click and lock/snap together. I've done a few of those and it's fast and easy. This stuff is tongue and groove. It can be used as glue down, nail down, or floating. Regardless of how it's done the tongue and groove must be glued. Slow slow.

    It's engineered hardwood, i.e. plywood 5 layers top is birch but it's thick enough to be sanded and refinished.

    Don't know the name wife ordered it. Hence no click and lock

    I'll keep that in mind I'm only putting down 300sf ish plus some stone work around the hearth but all that glueing sounds like a p.i.a not to mention me+glue +new flooring = ruined floor + lots of swearing:mad:. Not much for the finish work, wonder if I can make my cuts with one of my chainsaws?
