Installation Guide

Installation Methods

Floating

Ideal for rooms where a moisture barrier is needed; ensure the subfloor is smooth, use an appropriate underlayment, allow for 1/4 inch expansion gaps, and limit room dimensions to 40 feet in any direction.

Glue Down

Suitable for concrete subfloors; use a high-quality hardwood adhesive, follow the adhesive's working time, allow 24-48 hours for curing, and apply a moisture barrier if necessary.

Nail Down

Best for plywood or wooden subfloors; use 2-inch cleats or staples, ensure proper spacing of 8-10 inches apart, and adjust air pressure to 70-90 psi for effective fastening.

Site Requirements

  • Temperature: Maintain a room temperature between 60-80°F for optimal installation of solid hardwood flooring.
  • Humidity: Ensure the humidity level is between 35-55% to prevent expansion or contraction of the wood.
  • Preparation: Run HVAC systems for at least 48 hours before installation to stabilize conditions, ensure adequate lighting, and make sure windows and doors are closed to maintain consistent environmental conditions.

Required Tools

Essential Tools:

Circular saw, tape measure, hammer, safety goggles, gloves

Optional Tools:

Rubber mallet, knee pads, chalk line

  • Daily: Sweep or dust mop to remove dirt and prevent scratches.
