I have a sunroom/mudroom in my house that is built on slab that rises about 6-8 inches above ground. Underneath the doorway going to the outside there was a plank of wood (then covered with vinyl to match the siding) that covers the slab under the doorway (kind of like a faceplate). This piece of wood has somehow become loose where it falls off periodically. Looking at the plank it looks as though it was never permanently attached, just sort of wedged in. I'd like to come up with a more permanent solution. I'm thikning one of two options:
1.) Construction Adheasive (Liquid Nails.. etc). This plank sits under the lip of the thresold and does not get stepped on. Would this work for adhearing wood to cement? Would it be a strong bond?2.) Srewing the board to the slab using masonry screws. Now comes the dumb question... If I go this route do I simply buy masonry screws and drive them into the slab just like I would a normal screw into wood, or do I need to predrill first using a masonry bit? I can take the vinyl off the plank to do the work (so no screw heads would be visable).
Is there a better solution than either of these?
