1. Glued down: it's installed on underlayment materials like cork,EPE foam,etc. They can also be installed over most flat concrete slabs, ceramic tile, vinyl flooring, providing these floors are secured well to the underfloor and that any surface wax,dust,or glaze is completely cleansed and the surface is roughened up so as to keep enough adhesion for the glue.
2.Floated: This is a very fast, easy and clean installation method. Floating floors are not mechanically fastened to the sub-floor: instead, each plank is glued together with wood glue applied in the tongue and groove. A foam-pad (3mm-10mm) is placed between the wood flooring and the sub-floor to protect against moisture, reduce noise transmission, and "soften" the floor. This is the easiest and most versatile installation method.

I like that you mentioned how engineered wood is much durable than real wood. I’ve always liked the idea of a farmhouse-inspired house but I don’t like the idea that wood is prone to termites and other pests. Maybe it’s a good idea to use manufactured or prefabricated wood around the house. https://www.precisiontrusshawaii.com/products-services
