floating chipboard floor
 

would it be ok to lay a vapour barrier then T&G chipboard on top of a
concrete floor without insulation ?

there's insulation under the 100mm concrete slab if that makes a
difference.

Yes but I bet it creaks. Use a layer of sound deadening cork like you put
under laminate floors.

Would glueing the joins address the creaking?

Flood it with water for a week and when it sinks take it out with a
shovel. :-)

heh, that would work. You might even be able to get it out with a
shovel without wetting it.

As youre laying it on crete theres no need to use 18mm, 12mm would be
100% fine.
