Installing hardwood floors can transform the ambiance of any space, adding elegance and sophistication. However, achieving flawless installation requires more than just laying down planks. It demands expertise, precision, and adherence to best practices. At Shanks Custom Hardwood Inc, we understand the nuances of hardwood flooring installation and are here to provide you with an expert guide to ensure a seamless and long-lasting result.
Preparation is Key: Begin by thoroughly inspecting the subfloor for any imperfections. Ensure it’s clean, dry, and level. Correcting issues at this stage will prevent future problems.
Acclimatization: Allow the hardwood planks to acclimate to the room’s environment for at least 72 hours before installation. This minimizes expansion or contraction post-installation.
Quality Materials Matter: Invest in high-quality underlayment, adhesives, and fasteners. Choosing the right materials significantly impacts the durability and longevity of your hardwood floors.
Precision Installation Techniques: Follow manufacturer guidelines meticulously. Pay attention to the direction of the planks, and stagger joints, and maintain proper spacing to avoid buckling or warping.
Finishing Touches: After installation, apply appropriate finishes and sealants to protect the wood from moisture and wear. Regular maintenance with recommended products will preserve the floor’s luster for years.
