This magic product is called cork floating floors. Floating floors, unlike the type that are nailed or glued, simply float on top of your sub-floor, in fact the worse condition your sub-floor the more likely floating cork floor is your best cork floor type.
You can even install it over old vinyl tiles or sheet vinyl. You can use a floating floor over concrete but you’ll need a moisture barrier to prevent mold or mildew from growing on the concrete.
