Installation Guide
Installation Methods
Floating
Best for uneven subfloors or concrete bases. Use a vapor barrier underlayment, allow 1/2 inch expansion gap around the perimeter, and adhere to room dimension limits of 30 feet by 30 feet.
Glue Down
Ideal for concrete subfloors. Use a high-quality wood adhesive with a 3/16 inch V-notch trowel, allowing for a working time of 30-60 minutes and a cure time of 24 hours. Include a moisture barrier if necessary.
Nail Down
Suitable for wooden subfloors. Use 2-inch staples or nails with a pneumatic nailer set to 75-100 PSI, spaced every 8-10 inches along the boards.
Site Requirements
- Temperature: The room should be maintained between 60-80°F for optimal installation conditions.
- Humidity: Keep humidity levels between 30-50% to prevent wood expansion or contraction.
- Preparation: Ensure HVAC systems are operational at least 48 hours prior to installation and maintain adequate lighting with doors and windows closed to stabilize the environment.
