When it comes to wood floor installation, there are several things that should be taken into consideration. One of the first things you will need to decide when fitting wooden floors is the type of fitting method you will use.

 There are three different types of fitting methods that can be used, whether you are planning oak flooring fitting, or fitting any other type of solid wood or engineered wood floor. These include…

  • Gluing the floor
    Can be glued directly to the subfloor if suitable
  • Installing a floating floor
    Typically used when there may be a later need to gain access to the area beneath the floor, such as when the floor is built over electric lines or water pipes, the flooring is suspended over an underlay solid wood is not suitable for floating floors
  • Nailing or screwing the floor
    The traditional method for wood floor installation

Regardless of the method used with your wood floor installation, you will need to allow solid wood to acclimatize to your environment for a minimum of ten days. With engineered boards, on the other hand, you can begin the fitting process within a couple of days following delivery at the correct moisture and humidity levels.

Furthermore, it is essential to make certain the sub-floor is completely dry and clean. If any of the floorboards are loose, they should be screwed down, and dust or grease should be removed from the underlying floor.
