What you are doing is called A floating floor. Be sure to place a quality piece of styrofoam padding underneath do not go for the cheap stuff. You need to glue all the tongues and grooves together, and be sure to leave a 3/8 inch gap for expansion and then apply a shoe mold which will usualy come in the same as the flooring. Its easy and you should have no problems. Also break the joints 8 to 12 inches no less.
