Solid Wood Floor Installation

Solid wood floors can be installed over the concrete slab. A vapour retarder is required over and below the subflooring material. It is recommended to get a minimum of 6 mil construction grade polythene film or any other material with a perm of 0.13 to 0.15.

Prefinished wood floor installation

You should always layer a hardwood strip floor with prefinished wood floor. It is easier and faster, and you can also avoid the extra works such as staining, sanding and finishing.Here are the steps to install a prefinished wood floor:

Step 1: Choose the material

The prefinished woods have tongue-and-groove edges on all sides. They are typically 3/4-inch thick. The low price style are 5/16- to 5/8-inch thick, which are suitable for installing over the floor.

Step 2: Prepare the area.

Figure out the area of the room by measuring the width and length of the room and multiplying both. It is better to add an extra margin of 10 per cent in the wood because some parts will be ripped away while cutting. If the house is newly constructed, make sure the room is heated continually or air-conditioned to the normal or occupies temperature.

Step 3: Install a vapour barrier.

It is essential to install a vapour barrier beneath the flooring. Sometimes we use Red Rosin paper to eliminate friction, block moisture and flatten the bumps.

Step 4: Start installation

Typically, solid wood flooring is installed parallel to the room’s longest dimension. It looks more attractive than when installing across the floor’s shorter width. We install solid wood floors perpendicularly or across the floor joints to ensure maximum stability and reinforcement.

Install the floor by making sure the floor fits completely. Make sure there is not an empty space. The final row should meet the wall otherwise rip the floor lengthwise so that it fits completely.

Glue down wood floor installation

The process of glue down has to be restricted with engineered woods only. Once you decide to choose the glue-down method, leave a large expansion gap from the wall to let the wood contract and expand. Spread the adhesive around the room using a soft towel. Do a small area at a time and let it dry before going to the next. Life the board after spreading the adhesive to make sure you have full coverage of the adhesive to the end of the flooring product. This will keep your floor bonded for years.
