I am planning to install engineered wood floors (probably red oak,

or look cheap. Have identified Mercier, Mirage, and Lauzon as brands
I am considering.


Does anyone have recommendations on a quality manufacturer with a
product that looks like "real" 3/4 in hardwood? Any experience with
the above mentioned brands?


Thanks.


I dunno about that, but I think most of them are intended to float.

wood or gluing it down??? What about using a cork underlayment?



Float it. See if Homasote is cheaper than cork.
