Hello there and merry Christmas. I am looking for some advice on securing a marble hearth onto an engineered wooden floor. I am not the best at diy and am not looking to cut away at the floor as this could be disastrous just lay the hearth on the wood. The hearth is just a cheap model from b and q so probably won’t be too heavy. Can I ask what I could secure the hearth with? Many thanks for any advice!!

Hardwood floor furniture pads. Silicone will damage the flooring. I used these and stuck them on the bottom of the hearth the weight of the stove and hearth it doesn’t move at all and keeps the warden happy.

Before u over think it see how it sits on the floor first without securing. Remember you are going to have about 200-300 lbs sitting on top. I have a section of hardi board down and not secured... be pretty hard to get it to move...
