This would double the cost of installation and is unnecessary. In the entire
SW US houses are built on concrete slabs. Hardwood, either solid or
engineered, is glued or floated (with a vapor barrier) on top of the
concrete. Done it myself with 3/8 engineered hardwood. Looks really great
and, after 15 years, looks like new. There is no warping with engineered
hardwood and it is less expensive because only a veneer is used as a top
layer. It comes pre-finished with an ultra hard finish.

But as cheap as it is if you price the sand/refinish labor it would
pay for new manufactured flooring.

But unless it has a layer of real wood on top, it looks like a cheap
countertop. Even the kind with the wood top layer, the faux seams and
regular joint patterns scream at me. (and when I was house shopping, I
saw several where they didn't even stagger the seams....)
