My parents and I are re-modeling parts of our home and we’d like to know what kind of laminate wood flooring could be used on a concrete floor. Glue or glueless?
Bear in mind that my parents are both home improvement people (Dad is a roofing supervisor; Mom works as a dept. manager for a local indie hardware store). However, they are open to advice and suggestions from others on what kind of laminate wood flooring to use on concrete floors.

Well your mom and dad should have heard about Shaw. They carry a Versalock line. It is glue-less snap down. Easy to install, definitely a do it yourself product.
You should also check out the prices on Mohawk’s Laminate floors. They offer different collections to choose from and they also carry an earth friendly line.
Glue down laminate is obsolete now. They are all what they call ”floating” floors now. Any major brand will suffice. You may just want to look and see how easy the planks go together before deciding. Some brands have a foam backing with a moisture barrier already glued to the back of them and some require that you buy the foam in a roll that has to be laid down first. Obviously the real cheap stuff is going to feel like walking on cardboard and the pricier stuff will feel like real wood. No laminate is intended for a full bathroom where water/moisture from a tub or shower is present.
