I have a floating cork floor in my AV/ family room, which is on SIPS not concrete. Denting is not a problem, I use flat "coasters" under heavy equipment legs and even a 8 x 4 pool table with 2" slate..literally weighs about 900lbs. but chairs and couches are not a problem unless they have pointed contact points.... The cork is subject to "tearing" when dragging stuff across it ie equipment with pointed anchors etc. My room has window walls on three sides and fading has not been a problem... Very happy with the choice after investigating about all other possibilites.... wife really likes it especially in winter because it always feels warm and soft. You do have to be a little careful about cleaning up spills quickly unless you seal it.
Sound room flooring advice needed
I'm planning a remodel of my family room, which is on a concrete slab, currently covered with 50-year-old linoleum. I'll be installing engineered hardwood flooring.
What installation method is better for sonics, glue-down or floating? My main audio system resides in this space, doing double-duty as a 2.0 home theater. I listen to vinyl 90% of the time, so I'm also a bit concerned that floating could introduce footfall issues.
Thanks for your thoughts.
