re: Recommendations on Wood Floors Needed

What’s y’all thoughts on gluing down vs floating engineered wood?

We are looking at some 7” engineered planks. Overall I would prefer to glue down but I have three young boys and over the next 15-20 years, any floor will likely be torn to shite. I’m contemplating floating for ease of future removal.

Thoughts?

Probably not much help here but we went with floating engineered hardwood. Had a contractor install it in our living rooms and kitchen and i just installed it in our master bedroom. Our foundation is 100% level in the master so there's a couple spots where you can feel the floor give just slightly. Not a terrible feeling, but kind of annoying. Overall we're pretty pleased with it. it's water resistant but we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a kid and another on the way. We know this floor will get abused.
