Time for hardwood floor installation? Product and installation quality impacts appearance, performance and durability. A professional installer like Robar Flooring takes care of the smallest details to ensure beautiful and long lasting hardwood floors in your home or office.
There are four different ways to install hardwood floors, each with their own set of challenges. We have provided an overview to help you understand what is involved.
- Nail Or Staple Down Flooring Installation: A traditional method of floor installation, each board is nailed or stapled (at an angle just above the tongue of the floor board) to the wood subfloor using a manual or pneumatic flooring nailer or stapler.
- Glue Down Floor Installation: In this method, each tongue and grooved floor board is attached to a wood subfloor or concrete slab using an adhesive. This can be quite challenging as the adhesive is expensive and messy, so it could cause alignment problems for DIY installers. Check manufacturer installation recommendations to ensure your flooring can be glued down.
- Floating Hardwood Floor Installation: Here, flooring is installed by applying a bead of glue into the groove of each floor board. The board is then laid over a foam pad and tapped together using a hammer and tapping block. The whole floor will expand and contract seasonally as opposed to movement of individual boards. Ensure the hardwood you buy is suitable for this installation method.
- Click Loc Hardwood Floor Installation: Using this method you can tap the boards and lock them together or lock and fold them together. It is a floating floor which should never be glued or nailed down. Once again follow your manufacturer’s guidelines.
