First I think with real wood you don't have that issue, after installing it is sanded and sealed, then finished.

But no matter what FIRST test the concrete moisture content, most installers skip this step, a $15 test kit.

Then wonder why there R failures later.

We rented a home in Sept with the vinyl plank floor, IMO it was crappy feeling under foot and look about as bad.
Also noisy under foot.
But dog proof.

I'll stick with real wood.
