Installation Guide
Installation Methods
Floating
Use a floating method when installing over a non-wood subfloor or where moisture control is a concern. Ensure proper underlayment is used and leave a 1/4 inch expansion gap around the perimeter.
Glue Down
Use the glue-down method on concrete subfloors or when sound reduction is desired. Use a recommended adhesive and follow a trowel pattern for even distribution.
Nail Down
Opt for the nail-down method on plywood or OSB subfloors for a traditional solid hardwood installation. Use appropriate nails and spacing to secure the flooring.
Site Requirements
- Temperature: Ensure the room temperature is between 60-80°F for optimal installation conditions.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity levels between 30-50% to prevent warping or gapping.
- Preparation: Ensure HVAC systems have been operational for at least 72 hours prior to installation, and make sure windows and doors are closed to stabilize the environment.
