Is is possible to install hardwood floor (not engineered) but solid, brazillian wallnut, over slab, in Florida?

So, my parents picked up a house Vero Beach florida, and they are remodelling. I have about 3000sq ft of Brazillian Wallnut I bought a while ago at a bargain price to complete an addition to my house that luckily never took place before the market took a dump. So, I gave some to my parents and they already shipped it there. Now we're coming to find out that installing hardwood over slab in florida might be a problem.

Any expert advise on this?
Is it doeable?
If it is, what would be the right way to do it?

Thanks,

Adam

It IS do-able, but not direct to slab. You will need to add 3/4 inch plywood to the slab to provide a nailing surface. This will impact a number of other things like transitions to other floor coverings, shortening doors and frames, things like that.

Several ways to do it. Aside from using the 3/4" plywood, the consensus seems to point that a floating subfloor is a better way of doing it. Floating requires two layers of thinner plywood and naturally a moisture barrier underneath either application. Floating allows for a better moisture barrier because the fasteners don't punch into the concrete. Dennis hits it right on with some disadvantages. I've handled some 3/4" subfloors with 3/4" hardwood that should have never been sold that way. Even bifold closet doors can be a problem (bummer if they're hollow and need to be trimmed down) along with appliances if the floor runs into the kitchen.
