Hardwood should be stored inside the room where it will be installed for at least three days to acclimate to the humidity of the room to prevent warping. |
|
Keep in mind that hardwood flooring is not suitable for use in high-moisture environments such as bathrooms or rooms that are below ground level unless specified by the manufacturer. |
|
Make sure your sub-floor is clean, free of any debris, leveled and properly installed before you start. Also check the moisture content of your sub-floor to ensure it’s in a suitable range within manufacturer’s specifications. |
|
When installing solid hardwood flooring over a wood sub-floor you can use nailing, gluing or floating methods. |
|
When installing over a concrete sub-floor the floating or gluing method can be used. See manufacturer specifications for proper installation. |
|
All wood flooring is subject to expansion and contraction. Be certain to leave proper expansion gaps as required by the manufacturer’s specifications. |
