   At america's home place we nail, screw and glue the floors to help keep them from slipping or from the nails working themselves out over time and causing creaking and sqeaking sounds. If you are using laminate floors remember to leave space between the flooring and the walls to allow for weight distribution when someone walks on them because they are not sealed down...also make sure to use the pad underneath on laminate.
   Hope this helps,
