You’ll need some professional equipment if you decide to nail your hardwood floor. A nail gun, such as the Portanailer, has been specifically developed for use in Timber Floor Installation Melbourne wide. Flat nails with teeth on either edge will be used by the nail gun to firmly grip the flooring plank and subfloor. It’s important to remember that a Paslode nail gun or a Bradnailer won’t work because they don’t have the right to toothed nails.
We at Prestige Floors started this company to concentrate on the fine details in any flooring project, which sets us apart from the competition in the industry because we believe these small details can make a big difference in the final result.
If you’re just installing over a wooden sub floor, you should nail the floor down because the nails need a place to grip. The nails would be concealed by going through the flooring plank’s tongued edge at a 45-degree angle. Below are 3 of the finest techniques we look up to:
- Gluing Down Hardwood Flooring
Other than nailing or stapling the flooring down, there might be another way for installing tongue and groove engineered wood flooring and some 5/16″ thick solid wood flooring. Glue down is a method of installing wood floors that involves applying a bonding agent, adhesive, or glue directly to your subfloor before laying your floor. Glue down wood flooring is especially well suited to either concrete or wood subfloors as an installation form. However, if you’re using this technique on a concrete subfloor, make sure the subfloor is completely dry. If you have any concerns about dampness, we suggest installing a two-part epoxy damp proof membrane to ensure that no residual dampness rises through your new floor and causes future harm.
- Floating
The engineered wood floor is not physically fastened to any part of the subfloor with the floating installation method; instead, a bead of prescribed wood glue is added to each plank’s groove to glue the planks together. To provide padding, a thin underlayment pad is mounted between the wood flooring and the subfloor. This underlayment also prevents moisture from transferring from below, reduces noise when walking on the pavement, and makes it smoother underfoot. Floating is now possible on almost all engineered floors and engineered Long strip floors. Installing a floating floor is a quick and simple process.
- Click-Lock Method
Many manufacturers are now using newly developed methods to install their designed flooring, such as milling the tongue and groove pattern into a click-lock floating floor system, which allows the boards to simply fold and lock together without the use of messy glue or clamps.
Conclusion,
This tried-and-true approach has made the installation of wood, laminate flooring and Floor Sanding Melbourne much simpler and easier than any other method. Every day, more and more wood flooring manufacturers are introducing this type of floating floor. But we at Prestige Floors could be your best match because our professionals are qualified to the highest industry standards in the floor polishing industry.
