You might want to think about an underlayment of some form prior to installation, depends on how sure you are of the moisture content in your slab, because since it's underground it's typically higher. Floating engineered wood floors are recommended for below-grade installations.

This type has to be glued or nailed. We are putting it in a space that is about 900 square feet. We have checked with strings and found that the floor is not level by as much as 2 inches in some spots. The high points are in the center of the room and slope down around the outside walls. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Can we put it down without leveling? My husband have purchased engineered wood flooring to put down in our basement. This type has to be glued or nailed.
