Wood floor installations methods
Due to the increasing use of wooden floor people
are looking for an easy and efficient way of
installation. Pictures of hammer, nails and
back-breaking works come to mind when people
think about wood floor installation. But in real
life, there are several methods of installing.
The Proper method varies for flooring type, and
there are four methods mostly used such as
nail-down, glue-down, and floating and click
method

Strategy and benefits of each method will be
described below-
Nail down
One of the most used and shared methods of
hardwood floor installation is nail down, and the
method includes clawing or stapling the wood
flooring material straight to the wood subfloor.
The viewer cannot see the nail after the
completion of the process. Maintaining nailing
schedules is must for perfect installation. In
this methodology, one should avoid less fastener.
For using few fastens it can results in crack and
squeaks in the floor while using more means
piercing the tongue. One issue you need to take
into consideration is that this method is
appropriate for both solid and engineering wood
flooring material. But it works on the same sub
floor.

Glue down
Glue down simply means using glue between
engineering wood floor and parquets. In details,
the process stated the use of adhesive to adhere
the flooring materials to the subfloor. Available
and most used sticky elements are moisture-curing
urethane and synthetic adhesives. Application
differs due to performance characteristics. The
word moisture cure has been used as dry subfloor
is an important factor in this method. During the
process, one needs to be careful about small spot
as those spots need leveling. Alongside top spot
needed to be forced down.

Floating
Among the other process wood flooring
installation, this floating method is the easiest
and fastest way. A good analogy for understanding
floating floors is a jigsaw puzzle. In this
approach, woods float above the subfloor with the
help of adhesive. An underlying pad beneath the
floor material provides cushion. It also gives
protection against moisture and reduces noise. As
it plays a significant role, choosing the basic
materials bears much importance. There are
different types of flooring such as Laminate
Flooring, Luxury Vinyl Flooring, and Engineered
Flooring, etc.

Click installation
A new method has been introduced in the market
known as click method. This is another type of
floating installation process. In this process,
sticky or clip to establish the works is not
obligated. If you must have seen Lego, Its like
connecting parts. Floorboards simply click
together. Other processes include chemical
process, but this method includes mechanical
process rather than chemical method. Due to the
introduction of an automated process, it creates
a chance of frictional error. So, intense
observation during the process of installation
can reduce these type problems.

Choosing between these methods differs from the
choice of the customer, applications on different
prospects and availability of different
materials. So it doesnt matter how frequently
one of that method is being used it always the
situation or condition determines which method
will be perfect for the designing. Last of all
flooring contractor must be concerned about
subfloor as solid and flat subfloor is required
for the perfection of the flooring.
