Installation Guide
Installation Methods
Floating
Ideal for areas with minor subfloor imperfections; requires underlayment, and expansion gaps of at least 1/4" around the perimeter; suitable for rooms up to 40' wide.
Glue Down
Best for a more permanent installation; use a high-quality urethane adhesive with a notched trowel; observe a cure time of 24 hours before allowing foot traffic.
Nail Down
Recommended for plywood subfloors; use 1-1/2" to 2" cleats or staples with a pneumatic nailer set at 70-90 psi; space fasteners every 8" along the length.
Site Requirements
- Temperature: Ensure room temperature is between 60°F and 80°F for optimal installation conditions.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity levels between 30% and 50% to prevent expansion or contraction issues.
- Preparation: Run HVAC systems for at least 48 hours before installation to stabilize room conditions; ensure the site is well-lit and that doors and windows are closed during installation.
Required Tools
Essential Tools:
Tape measure, chalk line, circular saw, miter saw, rubber mallet, and safety goggles.
Optional Tools:
Flooring jack, tapping block, and knee pads.
Maintenance Guide
Routine Care
- Daily: Sweep or vacuum with a soft-bristle attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Weekly: Damp mop with a microfiber mop and a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors.
- Monthly: Conduct a thorough cleaning with a deep-cleaning hardwood floor product; avoid excessive moisture.
Cleaning Products
