7 Steps for Hardwood Floor Installation in Toronto
Hardwood is a timeless and elegant flooring
choice that is sure to enhance the beauty and
value of your Toronto-area home. That said,
proper installation is crucial to ensuring its
longevity and seamless finish. Here, we will
guide you through seven essential steps for a
successful hardwood floor installation in Toronto.
2
Prepare the Subfloor
Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and free of
debris. Use a moisture meter to check for
excessive moisture. Install underlayment if
necessary for sound insulation and moisture
protection.



3
Acclimate the Hardwood Flooring
Allow the hardwood planks to acclimate to the
room's temperature and humidity over 3-5
days. Stack the planks horizontally with spacers
in between to allow air to circulate.


4
Plan the Layout
Measure the room and plan the layout to minimize
waste Stagger the end joints by at least 6
inches for a more appealing look


5
Install Expansion Gaps
Leave a half-inch expansion gap along all walls
and vertical obstructions Use spacers to
maintain the expansion gap during installation.


6
Install the Hardwood Planks
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the
installation method (nail, staple, glue, or
floating). Use the recommended tools and
equipment for a professional finish. Install
trim pieces (baseboards, thresholds, etc.) for a
seamless transition. Use matching trim pieces
for a cohesive look throughout the space.



7
Clean Maintain
Clean the floor thoroughly after
installation. Apply a recommended hardwood floor
finish or sealant. Follow proper maintenance
procedures to protect your investment
