The Installation Process

Selecting Your Hardwood Floor

The first step in the installation process is choosing the right type of hardwood floor for your space. You want to consider factors such as the room’s size and shape, existing furnishings, traffic patterns, and your budget when selecting a product. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, you can start looking at samples and comparing prices.

Monitoring Moisture Levels

It’s essential that all moisture levels are within acceptable ranges prior to installing hardwood flooring. An experienced installer will use a moisture meter to check both the subfloor and the boards themselves before moving forward with installation. If the moisture levels are too high or too low then additional steps must be taken to correct the problem before proceeding with the installation.

Sub-Floor Preparation

Once moisture levels have been determined to be suitable, sanding may be necessary in order to ensure a level surface for installing hardwood floors. Any unevenness or irregularities should be addressed during this step by sanding or filling in any low spots with underlayment material such as plywood or concrete patching compound (depending on what type of subfloor is present).

Sub-Floor Primer Applied

After preparing the subfloor by sanding or adding underlayment material, it is important that primer be applied prior to laying down your new floorboards. This will help create an optimal bond between the boards and the subfloor so that they stay secure over time with minimal risk of buckling or warping due to changes in temperature and humidity levels.

What Is The Best Underlayment For Hardwood Floors?

When it comes to choosing an underlayment for hardwood floors, there are a few key factors to consider.

Cork and foam are the most popular underlayment choices and both are available in different thicknesses and densities so always be sure to use the best one suited for your project.
