Flooring Base: Components & Installation

[St Nick]

We have about 2600 feet of floor space. It is 2x6 tongue&groove subfloor, 25/32 particle board underlayment. We want to put down a wood floor over this. What's the best to use and the best way to do it. We were told at Lumber Liquidators we should not nail to the particle board. I saw at another dealer that it is ok to glue to the particle board underlayment. Is this true? Or what if we use 2 inch nails or staples since these would go through the 3/4 inch flooring, the underlayment, and go about 1/2 inch into the subfloor?

Installation is simple if you know the proper procedures. But if you think you can't do it, it is advisable to hire skilled worker who can install it for you, so you will not waste money and time.
