Hardwood Installation
KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND DO BEFORE INSTALLATION DAY.
Make sure you are prepared beforehand when the crew comes to your home to install new hardwood flooring. This will ensure the whole process goes smoothly and efficiently.
Below are the most used ways of hardwood installation:
1. NAIL DOWN: 2” CLEATS DO THE JOB.
The flooring is attached to the subfloor using 2″ nailing cleats with a mallet and flooring nailer.
2. STAPLE DOWN:
This method makes use of 1-1/2 to 2-inch staples and a pneumatic gun to attach the wood floor to the subfloor.
3. GLUE DOWN:
The process involves the use of an adhesive and a trowel to attach the wood flooring.
4. FLOATING:
In this method, a thin pad is placed between the subfloor and the wood floor to bind them together.
Before installation day
- Remove the furniture from the work area.
- Remove all the contents from your cabinets or cupboards.
- Maintain the Indoor humidity level between 45-65%.
- Keep the subfloor clean and uniform.
- Prepare for the clean-up as well.
During Installation:
- Some installers might remove doors also during the installation process.
- Children and pets need to be kept out of the work zone.
- Make sure you walk through the job with your installers to be sure of the installation and get the desired changes done.
After installation day
- Ensure adequate ventilation for 48 to 72 hours after installation of your new floor.
