Hello,

We would like to install waterproof laminate flooring over existing ceramic tiles in seasonal cottage. We are on a concrete slab foundation. We close in November and the house is unheated for the winter. I'm getting mix opinions about doing this. Some claim because the product has a wood core the product will expand, contract and buckle. My brother uses in down the cape in an unheated cottage on a hardwood subfloor with no issues. Does anyone have any experience with this product on a unheated concrete slab?

The ceramic tiles sweat profusely on humid days so I'm hoping this will resolve the issue.

Any suggestions are welcomed?
