Have any of you out there ever installed wood laminate flooring such as Pergo, (a brand name), where the sections just fit together? I am considering it for my apartment which has cement floors under the carpet. I would have to make a perfectly level sub-floor w/ something first, such as a floor leveling compound. I have no experience w/ this, so in the words of Ross Perot, I'm all ears.
The reason for the necessity of a sub-floor is that the lightweight cement present is not a perfect enough surface, plus it is too low. Also, would I need a moisture barrier? The guy at the flooring place said so, but he had that "I'm late on a boat payment" look to him, so I'm not sure.
TIA for any help. I am also considering a smooth cement floor, but leaning towards the Pergo-type stuff.
